Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/02/25

After a hard fought battle and a win over the Houston Rockets, the Memphis Grizzlies will look to keep the momentum going as they head into Fiserv Forum for a clash with the Bucks. Ja Morant did not play in Thursday’s game, there is hope he could return to the line-up on Sunday which will certainly be a boost to the Grizzlies offense here. The highest scoring team in the NBA relies on outscoring opponents on a nightly basis to win games, I expect nothing less in this game after seeing Memphis score 120+ points in 7 of their last 8 wins.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and co. return home following a rather disappointing 1-3 SU West coast road trip, highlighted by poor defense and a 144-118 loss at San Antonio in the final game. I would imagine head coach Doc Rivers will come up with adjustments for this game, allowing 120+ will almost certainly result in a loss here. Despite the sub-par road trip, Milwaukee is still seen as a 4.5-point favorite here and in that role they are 24-12 SU for the season. They’ve covered the spread in 6 straight home games, both of their star players should be healthy and available for Sunday’s game.

Memphis did win the 1st meeting fairly easily, but now it’s time for the Bucks to respond. This is a massive character test for them, a win levels them with the Indiana Pacers in the standings for the 4th seed. Coming back to familiar surroundings should do this team well, I’m taking the home team to cover.
