KVSP 
Through 3 Quarters
The Memphis Grizzlies are giving their home crowd exactly what it was hoping to see. After three quarters it’s looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Milwaukee Bucks as Memphis lead 98-81.
Shooting guard De’Anthony Melton has led the way so far for the Grizzlies, as he has shot 6-for-9 from downtown and has recorded 24 points. One thing to keep an eye out for is Dillon Brooks’ foul situation as he currently sits at four.
Milwaukee has been led by power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who so far has posted a double-double on 28 points and 11 boards in addition to four assists. This makes it four consecutive games in which Antetokounmpo has had at least ten rebounds.
the Bucks have lost 78% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this season, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know
The Memphis Grizzlies will take on the Milwaukee Bucks at 8 p.m. ET Saturday at FedExForum. Milwaukee will need to watch out since the Grizz has now posted big point totals in their last three contests.
The Grizzlies took their matchup against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday by a conclusive 133-103 score. With the Grizz ahead 74-48 at the half, the game was all but over already. Among those leading the charge for them was shooting guard Desmond Bane, who shot 5-for-7 from downtown and finished with 30 points, five assists and five rebounds.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee had enough points to win and then some against the Washington Wizards on Thursday, taking their contest 114-102. Point guard Jrue Holiday and shooting guard Grayson Allen were among the main playmakers for Milwaukee as the former posted a double-double on 24 points and ten dimes and the latter shot 5-for-7 from beyond the arc and finished with 21 points.
Barring any buzzer beaters, Memphis is expected to win a tight contest. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.
The wins brought Memphis up to 51-23 and the Bucks to 46-27. A pair of offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Grizzlies come into the contest boasting the third most points per game in the league at 115.1. Milwaukee is completely their equal: they also come into the game with 115.1 points per game. Tune in for what’s sure to be a high-scoring game.
