Memphis vs Milwaukee: prediction for the NBA preseason match
On October 6, Milwaukee will play a preseason match against Memphis. Will Bucks beat the Grizzlies? We'll try to answer in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Memphis Grizzlies

Memphis Grizzlies were not so active during the off-season. Not too many new players were signed by the club. They don't need any changes though, they will build the new team around Ja Morant.
During the summer Grizzlies failed to keep Jonas Valanciunas, it is the only big loss for the team. But he was replaced with the signing of Steven Adams. Many experts criticized the move, they think that board made a big mistake letting the Lithuanian player go. Adams is not so good of a player as Valanciunas.
Killian Tillie, Dillon Brooks and Sam Merrill won't be able to play against Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Bucks

Current champion kept the same squad, making only a few signings. Rodney Hood, Grayson Allen and George Hill joined the team. Of course they won't be key players, but they will add depth to the line-up.
We should note that a number of Bucks' key players will miss the match against Grizzlies. Team's main star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, won't play. Khris Middleton, Bobby Portis, Rodney Hood and Semi Ojeleye won't help their team as well.
Tip and bets
Due to Antetokounmpo's absence Grizzlies are a slight favourite. But everything is not so obvious here. Bucks have a number of strong players on the bench and Mike Budenholzer should be able to field a good line-up. Chances are pretty even and we offer to place a bet on the current champion.
Our prediction - Milwaukee to win
Both teams are able to put up a high-scoring performance. Even reserve players of Memphis and Milwaukee are pretty good. Despite the absence of leaders, we offer to place a bet on total over.
Our second prediction - total over 218,5 points
