Tune in to one of the NBA’s best game matchup as the Milwaukee Bucks play against the Memphis Grizzlies. This preview features Match Plug’s NBA predictions, odds, and analysis of the Bucks VS Grizzlies game held on Sunday. Two of NBA’s star players, Jaren Jackson Jr and Giannis Antetokounmpo will face off in this match at Fiserv Forum, Milwaukee. Note: Before you lock in your picks for Sunday’s game, read below for Matchplug’s odds, and analysis on Bucks VS Grizzlies. Betting Preview for Milwaukee Bucks VS Memphis Grizzlies Odds as provided by 1XBet. Betting On The Milwaukee Bucks The Bucks haven’t been strong home favorites (11-10-1 against the spread) this season. They also lost two straight games and have dropped to the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference. Their last game ended in a loss on Friday with a score 114-118 against San Antonio Spurs to end their 4-game road trip. The Bucks were only favored going into this game with 2.5 points. Betting On The Memphis Grizzlies The Grizzlies have been doing great this season, despite dealing with major injuries of some of their top players – Marcus Smart, Vince Williams Jr. Even though they’ve faced these setbacks, Memphis has managed to win 8 of their last 10 games and are currently holding the 3rd spot in the western conference. However, with the absence of Morant, the team are not at their full potential. MatchPlug Prediction For Milwaukee Bucks VS Memphis Grizzlies Both teams played earlier this season and Memphis won 122-99 in the first meeting at Memphis without much trouble. That said, we predict that the Grizzlies will likely struggle playing against Giannis and Damian Lillard this Sunday without the strong offense boost from their star player Morant, who will probably sit this game out.

It’s an Atlantic Division showdown this Sunday at the Wells Fargo Center as the Philadelphia 76ers play against the Boston Celtics for the second time this season. Read our analysis for 76ers VS Celtics. MatchPlug has got you covered with the NBA Predictions for 76ers VS Celtics. Before you lock in any picks, check out the odds, and analysis we laid out in this preview. Betting Preview for Philadelphia 76ers VS Boston Celtics Odds as provided by 1XBet. Betting On The Philadelphia 76ers Earlier this season, the 76ers were hosted by the Celtics in Boston on Dec 25, 2024. They left the Celtics stunned with a 118-114 win. The 76ers who were on a four-game winning streak sadly lost 137-134 at home against Denver, at Philadelphia. The team will again be playing without Joel Embiid (left knee), Paul George(left finger), KJ Martin(left foot), and Jared McCain(left knee), who have all been reported injured and have missed on the court this season. Betting On The Celtics The Celtics have been one of the hottest teams this season. They have won five of seven games(two in a row), including their last win 118-116 against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Forward Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown have been the elite players in Celtics recent wins. It’s safe to say that they’re gunning for a third straight win at Wells Fargo this Sunday. MatchPlug Prediction For Philadelphia 76ers VS Boston Celtics The 76ers have been on a roll lately, winning four of their last five games but still remain at a lower position than the Celtics. The Celtics, meanwhile have maintained second position in the Eastern Conference having won six of its last 10 games. Despite the fact that the 76ers upset the Celtics earlier in the season, it’s unlikely that they will record another win against them on Sunday. Final Prediction: Boston Celtics Moneyline.
