Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Memphis Grizzlies have won games and covered numbers all season, and that's with constant lineup changes. So I wouldn't talk you off the ledge if looking at the points, despite Morant and others not playing. The Milwaukee Bucks are also back to their inconsistent ways. With all that said, the Bucks are back home and playing a banged-up Grizzlies team. The Bucks are coming off ugly losses to the Spurs and Trail Blazers. If the Bucks can't dig deep and get a much-needed win over an injured team, it may be time to hit the panic button. It's just that simple. The Bucks have seen 16 of their 27 wins come at home. The Grizzlies have seen 11 of their 16 losses come on the road. There are no excuses for the Bucks. This is kind of a must-win in February. I'll lay the chalk.
