Bet on Milwaukee Bucks vs Memphis Grizzlies on Basketball

Memphis Grizzlies are slight favorites based on recent market lines — moneyline around -135 to -150 while the Milwaukee Bucks are around +115 to +130 — largely because Memphis is 7-3 in their last 10 with Jaren Jackson Jr. and Santi Aldama healthy and the Grizzlies defend at a higher rating at home, while Milwaukee has struggled defensively on the road; DexWin - Best Odds on Your Favourite Sports.
