Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: March 12 at Memphis Grizzlies
By Adam McGee
Major key for Milwaukee – Capitalize on turnovers
While there are plenty of stats that could be pointed to as obvious avenues to beating a Memphis Grizzlies team that has been abysmal for the best part of six weeks, one stands out on this occasion.
The Grizzlies have been one of the NBA’s worst turnover teams throughout the season, but they’ve taken it to new levels since January 31 and the start of their current 17-game losing streak.
During that span, Memphis ranks dead last with 16.9 turnovers per game. Considering they’ve also been among the worst shooting teams and ranked dead last in terms of points per game too, Memphis doesn’t have the luxury of being able to get away with being careless with the ball either.
The Bucks are the NBA’s seventh best team in terms of points off turnovers with 17.7 per game, and should be well-positioned to exploit any mistakes the Grizzlies make in that area.
