GRIZZLIES VS BUCKS 2/2/25

The Milwaukee Bucks find themselves back in home territory after a gruelling Western road trip, gearing up to face the Memphis Grizzlies tonight. The West had little mercy for the Bucks, serving up three crushing defeats against the Clippers, Trail Blazers, and a hard 144-118 fall to the Spurs in San Antonio. It was the highest output of the season for the Spurs. Victor Wembanyama led the way with 30 points, while Giannis Antetokounmpo notched 35 for the Bucks.


Bucks' coach Doc Rivers held nothing back in his analysis of his team's defence on the trip. He was unhappy that the Bucks allowed 17 points in the game’s first four minutes. That set the tone for a big night by the Spurs.


Meanwhile, Memphis managed to stave off a season-series whitewash against the Houston Rockets, seizing a narrow 120-119 victory on their home ground on Thursday night, even in the absence of Ja Morant. It was the Grizzlies’ seventh victory in their last eight games. Desmond Bane was the lynchpin for Memphis, delivering 24 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.


Memphis' star performer Jaren Jackson Jr., has been leading the pack with a stellar 22.8 points per game this season, with Zach Edey topping the rebounds chart with 7.3 per game. Bane has been the key playmaker with 5.5 assists.


Antetokounmpo is Milwaukee's star, averaging 31.8 points and 12.2 rebounds per game. Teammate Damian Lillard contributes with 7.3 assists and 1.2 steals. Both players will represent Milwaukee as Eastern Conference All-Stars.


The Bucks will miss the services of Bobby Portis, who sat out the four-game road trip for personal reasons and will continue to be absent at Sunday's game. Rivers expressed concern about the excessive burden on Brook Lopez without Portis. Portis helps take some of the pressure off of Lopez on the interior.


Morant, nursing a shoulder injury, is unlikely to play on Sunday. Vince Williams Jr. (ankle), Marcus Smart (finger), and Cam Spencer (thumb) remain sidelined for Memphis. Memphis has proven to be a tough opponent for Milwaukee, taking each of the last six games. Earlier this season, Memphis claimed a 122-99 victory on Halloween in the first of this two-game series. Morant played a vital role with 26 points while Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee with 37 points. Lillard scored a meagre four points on 1-for-12 shooting.


The Grizzlies are fifth in offensive rating, fifth in NET rating, and seventh in defensive rating. They also play at the fastest pace in the NBA. Milwaukee hovers right around the middle of the pack (15th) in possessions per game.

COACH RICK FREE PICK:

DESMOND BANE OVER 34.5 PRA

If you look at Bane’s points, rebounds, and assists over the last five games, you’ll see that he has only hit this number once. That was in the Grizzlies last game, a 120-119 win over Houston. Bane had 24 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists. It’s worth noting that Ja Morant didn’t play in that game against Houston. Bane stepped up mightily in helping the Grizzlies win. Tonight, Morant will also be out of the lineup, which is why the Over makes sense once again. Bane has gone Over this number in 7 of the last 8 games he has played without Morant.
