Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Under 229.5 Points – 1.59
Bucks to Win
The Grizzlies and the Bucks have both won their last eight games in the last ten outings. However, the Bucks have won four of their five road games and have an 80% chance to win this contest considering their away record.
Under 229.5 Points
The average number of points scored by the Grizzlies is 115.5 while the Bucks is 112.6 points per game. There is a 60% chance that this match will produce under 229.5 points. Moreover, three of the previous four meetings between the Grizzlies and the Bucks ended with fewer than 229.5 points.
Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies are on a six-match winning streak and share the first spot in the western conference with the Pelicans with an 18-9 win-loss record. This season they have been led by Jo Morant who has 27.2 points per game but is doubtful to play while Desmond Bane is averaging 24.7 PPG but may miss the game through injury.
In the Grizzlies’ win over the Atlanta Hawks last time out, they won 128-103 in a game they dominated from start to finish. They were led by Tyus Jones who had 22 points while Brooks, Jackson Jr., and Brandon Clarke had 18, 15, and 11 points, respectively.
Milwaukee Bucks
The Bucks were stunned by the Rockets on Sunday on the road but returned home on Tuesday and beat the defending champions the Warriors. The Bucks got off to a 38-27 after the end of the first quarter and never looked back as they won the second and third quarters and trailed the fourth by one point.
With a 20-7 win/loss record, the Bucks are second in the Eastern Conference, one game behind the Celtics. Milwaukee,are averaging 112.6 PPG with an offensive rating of 112.6 which ranks 16th while defensively they allow 107.6 PPG which ranks second and their defensive rating of 107.5 is the best in the league.
Even though the Grizzlies are on a winning run, missing Bane and the uncertain situation of Morant will be crucial. The Bucks have a strong enough defense to shut down the Grizzlies while the opposite is not correct in terms of defending Giannis. We predict the Buck to win this game.
The average number of points scored by the Bucks this season is 112.6 PPG. In their previous seven away games, the Bucks scored under 110 points. With odds of 1.70 at 1XBet, we predict the Bucks to score under 114.5 points.
Morant and Adams are questionable while Bane and Green are out injured for Memphis.
Milwaukee meanwhile has Ingles unavailable and Holiday will be assessed at game time.
