Let's get to my Grizzlies vs. Bucks predictions and NBA picks for Sunday, February 2.
Grizzlies vs. Bucks Prediction, Picks
Spread
It's a tough one here. Ja Morant is doubtful, yet I still want to lean toward Memphis because their against-the-spread numbers are better.
Memphis is 18-13 ATS after a win and 13-7 straight up without Morant this season.
I'll wait to play something closer to the game, if at all.
Memphis' resume might outweigh Milwaukee's possible home bounce-back spot, but we'll see.
Over/Under
This total is very high but understandable. However, I'm staying away. I don't like overs that are this high, yet I'm not convinced it's an Under.
My Pick: Desmond Bane Over 28.5 Points + Assists (-125)

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Milwaukee Bucks Preview, Best Bets
I'm taking a player prop here.
Desmond Bane over 20.5 points at -120 on bet365.
Bane has gone over in 7-of-8 without Morant and has rounded into form after a slow start to the season.
Bane's points + assists should also be worth a look at over 28.5.
He's gone over this 7-of-8 without Morant as well, with double-digit assists in three of four sans Ja.
It's the play for me, and really the only thing I like on the board.
Best Bet: Desmond Bane Over 28.5 Points + Assists or Desmond Bane Over 20.5 Points
