The under is 5-2 in Bucks last 7 overall. The over is 12-5 in Grizzlies last 17 overall. The over is 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings.
The Milwaukee Bucks are going to be favored because Ja is out, but the Grizzlies have played without their star before, and it didn't stop them from winning or covering numbers. The Grizzlies are a tough bunch regardless of who plays, and they're also 48-26 against the spread on the season. Also, the Milwaukee Bucks have already ruled out Holiday for this game and Antetokounmpo is questionable with a knee injury. And while he's listed as probable, Khris Middleton is dealing with a wrist injury. This line is quite disrespectful toward the Grizzlies, even with their star out. Give me the points.
