The Bucks have been showcasing a robust form recently, despite a narrow loss in their last game against the New York Knicks with a score of 122-129. This defeat came after an impressive winning streak that included a dominant 130-111 victory over the same Knicks team just two days prior. The offensive prowess of Milwaukee has been evident; they've consistently scored above 110 points in recent games and have displayed remarkable resilience by maintaining leads and responding effectively to opposition runs.


Analyzing past performances, one can note that Milwaukee's offense is firing on all cylinders. They've shown proficiency from both inside and beyond the arc with shooting percentages hovering around 60 percent for two-pointers and an effective field goal percentage peaking at 62 percent in their win against New York. Their ability to convert fast-break opportunities into points has also been notable.

Defensively, while there is room for improvement given that they allowed over 110 points in these matches, they've managed to outscore opponents through sheer offensive firepower. Rebounding has been another strength for Milwaukee; they outrebounded opponents significantly in recent games which could be crucial against Memphis.


The venue might play a role as well; playing away from home always presents challenges. However, considering their current form and confidence stemming from recent victories – except for one close setback – it's reasonable to expect them to put up a formidable fight.
