Memphis Grizzlies vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction

The Milwaukee Bucks don’t look right, and things will get very interesting if the struggles continue. The vibes are off with the Bucks, but the season is still young. The Bucks have the rest advantage, and they’re running into a banged up Grizzlies side. The Grizzlies were already without Kennard, Jackson, etc., but they also saw Bane and Smart leave last night’s Game. Not ideal when have to play less than 24 hours later. If the Bucks are serious, they take advantage of a Grizzlies team that’s limping out there. No excuses. I’ll lay the points.
