Grizzlies vs Bucks prediction
The Bucks need this game as they're fighting the Cavs for the second seed in the East. However, we saw the Bucks lose last night to the Wizards as 12.5 point favorites. Who knows if Lillard plays, as he's dealing with a groin injury. The Grizzlies also beat the Bucks in February as 14 point underdogs. With losses in 3 of their last 4 games, I don't think the Bucks are in a position to lay double-digit chalk. Yes, the Grizzlies are fielding a G League roster these days, but this line is thick. It's Grizzlies or pass for me.
