The NBA wraps its five-game Sunday slate with a prime time nationally televised game featuring the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum.
The Grizzlies rely on guard Desmond Bane to score when Ja Morant doesn’t suit up, but my Grizzlies vs. Bucks predictions expect a less-than-productive offensive night for the Memphis guard. Read on as I explain my NBA picks for Sunday, February 2.
Grizzlies vs Bucks prediction
My best bet
Desmond Bane Under 20.5 points (-110 at bet365)
My analysis
The Memphis Grizzlies roll into Milwaukee with a mile-long injury report that includes Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant.
I expect the Bucks to try to prevent another loss to the Grizzlies and continue their six-game winning streak at Fiserv Forum.
The Grizzlies guard averages nearly 18 points per game, spiking to a shade under 20 on the road based on a 60% true shooting percentage.
I’m betting Bane doesn’t score 21+ tonight. T
The Bucks want to end their losing streak to Memphis and continue their home winning streak. Both can happen, but Milwaukee must slow down Bane.
Grizzlies vs Bucks same-game parlay
Desmond Bane Under 20.5 points
Damian Lillard Over 3.5 threes
Bucks moneyline
Slowing down Bane is one thing, but the Bucks must score the rock to beat Memphis. Enter Damian Lillard, who's draining 3.3 triples per night across his last 10 and 58% of his triple attempts in his previous five at Fiserv.
He should get enough pace to clear his threes prop against a Grizzlies defense allowing 14 threes per night.
Lastly, Milwaukee does not want to lose its seventh straight to Memphis.
The Grizzlies are 12-11 on the road but are missing too many key offensive players. Milwaukee is playing well enough at home to bet on them winning this game.
