The Grizzlies are coming off a hard-fought victory against the Indiana Pacers. In their previous game, they showcased resilience by pushing through to overtime and securing a win with 127 points over the Pacers' 122. Their performance was marked by impressive statistics that bode well for their upcoming matchup. The team excelled in points in paint with a remarkable 78 points and demonstrated efficiency from two-point range with a 60 percent conversion rate.


Defensively, both teams were evenly matched with each recording 11 blocks. However, it was Memphis's ability to generate turnovers that stood out; they managed to steal possession from Indiana 13 times. This defensive tenacity will be crucial against Milwaukee.


One area where Memphis could improve is their three-point shooting percentage which stood at just 21 percent last game. Against a team like the Bucks who have strong perimeter defenders, increasing this percentage could be key in stretching the defense and creating more opportunities inside.


The bench also played an integral role contributing an impressive 69 bench points which highlighted Memphis's depth – an asset they'll surely lean on again.


With these trends in mind, fans can anticipate another energetic performance from the Grizzlies as they aim to maintain momentum at FedExForum – known for its vibrant atmosphere that often acts as a sixth man for Memphis.


The match is set for October 11th and fans can catch all of this action live on BSSE or BSWI networks depending on their location. Tip-off time is yet to be announced but rest assured that when these two teams meet on court it will be an event not easily forgotten.
