This January 20, 2022, at 9:00 AM, the Memphis Grizzlies will be facing off the Milwaukee Bucks at the Fiserv Forum Arena, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The teams currently have two encounters in the regular season, with one win per team, so this game will be an interesting tiebreaker to watch. 

 

After winning against the Chicago Bulls in a final score of 119-106, players Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, scoring 49 points when combined, led the team to the road of victory. The Memphis Grizzlies have surely surprised the crowd this season by showing just how capable they are as they were able to reach the playoffs for the last term. Ranking third in the Western Conference, the players of the Grizzlies have truly worked well.  

 

Ja Morant, with his average of 24.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists, is considered the key player of the Memphis Grizzlies. On top of this, he is  also being considered as one of the best point guards in the NBA. Desmond Bane is also grinding hard for Memphis with his average of 3.1 made 3-pointers from the past ten games for the team. 

 

Having lost most of their recent games against the opposing teams that rank lower, the Milwaukee Bucks have surely hit a roadblock. Star player Giannis Antetokounmpo, with his average of 28.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.5 blocks, has shown consistency in his performances, but apparently not enough to keep the team in line. Khris Middleton is also showing effort for the team with the average of 3.1 made 3-pointers over the recent ten games for the Bucks.  

 

Both Antetokounmpo and Middleton scored 61 points combined during their match against the Atlanta Hawks, but still fell short, leading to four losses out of their last five games. If the team wants to end in a good position in the East, then they have to be at their best. 

 

For our prediction, it seems that the Milwaukee Bucks will likely win the upcoming match since the players are more driven to prove themselves and fight for their spot. They badly need this win to compensate for their recent losses against teams who rank lower than them, and this need will keep them on their toes. 

 

Witness which team will be able to dominate the third encounter on January 20, 2022. Memphis Grizzlies against Milwaukee Bucks, 9:00 AM at the Fiserv Forum Arena, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
