SportsJaw's ScoreCaster prediction: Bucks 111 to Grizzlies 133.

Staff Prediction

This is a great matchup between two of the favorites to win the championship. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant have been playing at an MVP level for their respective teams. The Bucks will be without starting point guard and key player Jrue Holiday. With no Jrue Holiday and the game being in Memphis, take the Grizzlies to win and cover the 2 points.

Staff Pick MEM ATS (-2)
