A game between two teams that have some of the best records in the NBA, the 2nd of the West welcomes the 3rd of the East, more simply the Grizzlies against the Bucks.
The hosts have been doing incredible things since the beginning of the year, they have made the whole NBA world talk about their appearances and everyone is wondering how far they can go. Four of their victories in the last 5 games, 3 in a row and in fact in the absence of the terrible Morand, the best player of the team and in the list of MVP candidates. The star guard will be left out of the rest of the regular season in order to return dynamically to the Playoffs. The Grizzlies are in 2nd place at the moment, 3 wins over the Warriors and it seems difficult to change their ranking. Impressive basketball from Memphis, a young and energetic team that is looking for surprises and will certainly not be easy prey for anyone in the Playoffs.
The champions show the nuggets of the image that everyone expects from them lately, at the moment when coach Budenholzer tries to manage the minutes of his stars, but also of the rest of the team, in the appropriate way so that the "deer" can enter as much as possible. as fresh as possible in the Playoffs. It is questionable how important the organization is in the final ranking of the regular season, since as a championship team it knows that it has to go through difficult obstacles, while the position in the quartet is not in danger. Logically, however, he wants the first place and the home advantage until the eastern finals, he will simply not risk anything about the health of the important players in order to achieve that. Holiday is absent tonight, doubtful Middleton and John.
Morand will be missing, maybe even Giannis and automatically the match loses a lot of its glory. What in my opinion will not be lost is the status of the teams lately, but also in general, which says that both teams score in bursts and at the same time have issues in defense. Over 229,5 in Stoiximan (1,72).
