The Milwaukee Bucks and Memphis Grizzlies meet in the NBA's regular season schedule for the last time. The Bucks are first in the East with a 58-22 record after going 7-3 over their last ten games. The Grizzlies are second in the West with a 50-30 overall record after winning seven of their last ten matches.

The Bucks love to attack teams from the three-point line and on the glass, as they average 14.8 threes per game (4th in the NBA) and 48.8 rebounds per game (1st in the NBA). The Bucks gave a few of their stars the night off in their last game against the Bulls, and they were still capable of limiting the Bulls to just 92 points on 43.4% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range.

An aggressive defensive team, the Grizzlies allow opponents just 112.6 points per game (11th in the NBA) on 45.2% shooting from the field and 35.2% from three while forcing 15.1 turnovers per game. Memphis is coming off a tough overtime loss to the Pelicans, where they overcame a massive deficit but still allowed 138 points on 50.0% from the field and 53.8% from deep on 21 makes.

Take the Milwaukee Bucks in this matchup. The Memphis Grizzlies' defense has been questionable as of late, and they've allowed an absurd amount of three-pointers through their last three games. The Milwaukee Bucks haven't been fielding a full roster, but their passing game and the threat from range will be enough against the short-handed Grizzlies.

Key Players & Stats

Despite losing their last game, Memphis Grizzlies big man Jaren Jackson Jr. put on one of the best performances of his career. In a 138-131 overtime loss, Jackson Jr. posted 40 points, nine rebounds, four blocks, and three assists in 41 minutes of play. With so many of their more traditional big men unavailable, Jackson Jr.'s success on both ends of the court will determine Memphis' chances at victory.

The Milwaukee Bucks earned a 105-92 win without Giannis Antetokounmpo available in their last game, and it was in large part due to big man Bobby Portis. The Sixth Man of the Year candidate started on Wednesday night, and he posted 27 points, 13 rebounds, and six threes in 37 minutes of play. With the Bucks' lineup uncertain for Friday night, Portis' outside shooting ability will be crucial to counter the Grizzlies' rim protectors.
