Grizzlies unstoppable even by the champions?

The Milwaukee Bucks and Memphis Grizzlies face off for the top game in the NBA on 20.01.2022. The champions, however, have fallen off recently: Only two of their past eight games have been victorious.

Because of this meagre yield, it is only enough for fifth place in the Eastern Conference for the time being, while the visitors arrive in third place in the West. For the duel in the Fiserv Forum between the Bucks and Grizzlies, an NBA tip from today is presented below!

Milwaukee Bucks – Statistics & current form

Despite an interim double-digit lead, the Bucks last gave the guest game in Atlanta still out of hand. The opponent had not celebrated a victory in ten home games before, but the champions finally gave Atlanta that lucky feeling once again. The game can be seen as synonymous with the past few matchdays.

Coach Mike Budenholzer’s team lacks the fighting spirit to win such games. With the exception of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has been very consistent, the rest of the team lacks the consistency necessary for a top team. This also applies to the recent home games.

Not much is left of the former fortress character of the Fiserv Forum, as three defeats in the last four games in front of their own backdrop demonstrate.

Memphis Grizzlies – Statistics & Current Form

The Grizzlies most recently defeated the East leaders from Chicago. The latter was shorthanded, but the success made it clear once again that there is hardly a hotter team in the NBA at the moment. Led by Ja Morant, the Memphis basketball team has gone from victory to victory.

Head coach Taylor Jenkins’ team has won twelve of its last 13 league games. Just how strong the visitors are is shown, among other things, by their top ranking in the rebounding rate – joint first place with Utah.

In addition, the Grizzlies can rely on their away strength: Only the Suns in the West and Nets in the East win more often away from home!

Milwaukee Bucks – Memphis Grizzlies Tip

The Bucks are currently in a playing crisis and have slipped to fifth place in the East standings. The opposite is true for the visitors, who have climbed to third place in the West in recent weeks and have long been putting pressure on the runners-up in the form of the Warriors.

For the duel between Milwaukee and Memphis, the tip is therefore for an away win, including a positive handicap of 6.5 points for the visitors. This is also supported by the away strength of the visitors, who have won 14 of their 20 games away from home and have not conceded a defeat since 24 December last year.

Instead, they have won their last six away games. On top of that, the Grizzlies have also felt very comfortable in Milwaukee recently. The last two guest games at the Fiserv Forum also ended with victories for the basketball players from Tennessee.

The Grizzlies have also felt comfortable in Milwaukee recently.
