Major key for Memphis – Hope the Bucks have an off night

It’s very rare in the NBA that a game appears to be as lopsided as this one does — I know how nervous that makes everyone from a Bucks’ perspective — but the Grizzlies just don’t have an obvious path to winning this game.

In their last game, a 34-point blowout loss to the Dallas Mavericks, the Grizzlies ran out a starting lineup of Kobi Simmons, Ben McLemore, Dillon Brooks, JaMychal Green and Jarrell Martin.

Even not playing at their best, a Bucks team with talent like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe and Jabari Parker should comfortably be able to overwhelm a team of that kind.

If the Grizzlies can do the improbable and slow Giannis Antetokounmpo down, anything is possible. It just seems about as unlikely as any outcome of a Bucks game this season.
