Memphis Grizzlies vs. Milwaukee Bucks
It's been a massive turnaround season for the Grizzlies, who have already exceeded their win total from last year. The biggest credit goes to the offense, which went from worst to first in points per game. They score a lot and they score first, as their 67% first-basket rate is second in the league.
They are facing the Bucks, who have been struggling recently and have dropped three of their last four games. Milwaukee has grabbed the first basket in just three of their previous seven games, and they've allowed the most first baskets to the guards. This highly favors Desmond Bane, who has the most first baskets this season.
Pick: Desmond Bane (+650)
