Milwaukee Bucks vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction NBA Picks 10/31/24

The Milwaukee Bucks and the Memphis Grizzlies duke it out at the FedExForum on Thursday night. Here’s a Milwaukee Bucks vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction. This article will include a Milwaukee Bucks vs Memphis Grizzlies Pick.

The Milwaukee Bucks have struggled to get going this season and they are now hoping to put an end to a three-game skid after getting routed by the Celtics in a 119-108 road defeat on Monday. Damian Lillard led the team with 33 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists, Giannis Antetokounmpo added 30 points with 10 rebounds and six assists while Brook Lopez chipped in with 13 points, six rebounds, and four blocks. As a team, the Bucks shot 45 percent from the field and eight of 31 from the 3-point line as they got off to a decent start and took the narrow lead into halftime, but their hard work came undone in the third quarter where they allowed the Celtics to pour in 37 points to put them behind by 18 points. Gary Trent Jr scored just 10 points, Taurean Prince had just three points, while no bench players scored more than five points. The Bucks will meet the Cavaliers and Jazz after this game.

Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies have been in a rut lately as they’ve lost three of their last four games and they will be hoping to snap a two-game skid after getting trampled by the Nets in a 119-106 loss last night. Jaren Jackson Jr led the team with 30 points on 10 of 12 shooting, Ja Morant added 14 points with eight rebounds and 11 assists while Zach Edey and Brandon Clarke scored 13 points each. As a team, the Grizzlies shot 46 percent from the field and eight of 27 from the 3-point line, but they allowed the Nets to catch fire with 67 points in the first half which meant they were just a step behind until things got ugly in the fourth quarter where they managed just 16 points. Jake LaRavia had a night to forget as he finished with just three points on one of 10 shooting off the bench. Memphis also lost to Chicago and Houston to start the season.

The Bucks are still a little shorthanded with Khris Middleton ruled out again, while the Grizzlies are still missing a bunch of players including Luke Kennard, Marcus Smart, and GG Jackson. The Bucks have been relatively healthy to start the season, but it hasn’t translated into success just yet as the Bucks come into this meeting fresh off a second straight defeat. The Grizzlies haven’t been playing much better lately and they are playing this game on zero days’ rest following last night’s ugly loss to the Nets. You couldn’t back either side with any confidence at the moment, but the line is short enough for me to take the Bucks to get the win and cover on the road.
