Game starts at 7:30 CT and is on ESPN.
Milw looks to be a 4.5 point favorite.
No regulars missing the game for the Bucks except Portis who is still out for "personal reasons". Grizzlies have a few out including Ja Morant, could be thin at Guard.

12-11 Bucks early.
The Bucks are getting killed again on dribble penetration. Even AJax.
Middleton, at the FT line, makes it 20-19 Memphis.

Giannis at the line, misses both.
Grizzlies' Jackson Jr bleeding after colliding with Rollins.
31-28 Memphis, after 1.
Bucks trail after one, 31-28. Memphis has 24 points in the paint. Just terrible defense.
Middleton is on fire again, which is the only reason it's still close.
Bucks down 4. Lillard with just absolutely pathetic defensive effort to give up a Kennard 3. Typical half-ass effort by Lillard on the defensive end.
Giannis looks really off tonight.
Pippen Jr slicing through the Bucks defense like a knife through butter.
Connaughton hits a 3, to bring the Bucks within 1.
AJ Green gives the Bucks the lead, with a 3 from the top of the key.
58-56 Bucks, at the half.
Bucks up 2 at the break. Lillard with a dud so far - 1 for 7 from the field.
Gianis with 10-8-3. Middleton with 13 points.
Giannis now 0 for 4 from the line. He's missing short and it's ugly.
Prince drains a 3 after Giannis's poor FT shots.
Bucks lead up to 10 after a Giannis dunk.
Bucks were up 10. Dame misses a wide open 3 off a Giannis feed with no one within 10 feet of him. 3 point play on the other end. AJax misses a layup - wide open 3 at the other end.
4 point game, should have been 13.
Ajax makes some plays, but he's just a such a liabilty on offense, I don't think you can play him. He was a liability on offense even in college.
Milwaukee with a ten point lead, again. TO Memphis.
Giannis now 0 for 6 from the line. I love the guy, but that is beyond pathetic.
Memphis shod foul Giannis more. He's 0-6 from the line.

Down to 4, Giannis' ineptitute at the line has contributed
Three, the old fashioned way, for Green!
Giannis sits with the Bucks up 10 with about 1 minute left in the third.
Lead shrinks to 3 in less than a minute after Brook Lopez gets outhustled for an extra possession. No one bothered to box out.
Green hits a long 3 to push the lead back to 6 going to the 4th.
Green with a 3 from Pewaukee! And the 3rd quarter ends.
We will see how long Giannis can sit. Lead is now down to 2.
Lead down to 1 after Taurean Prince tries to handle the ball and it didn't go well.
Bucks have been outscored by 12 points in 2 minutes when Giannis went to sit.
Giannis is 0 for 6 from the line.
I wish to high heaven that he could hit freaking free throws. That might mean the difference between winning and losing tonight.
And Lillard with another worthless game. 3 for 11 from the floor.
Everybody else is making moves. The Bucks are doing nothing.
Bucks bring back Giannis after getting outscored by 15 with Giannis sitting for 5 minutes. This is about to slip away.

Jon Horst F'd up several times and it's coming back to bite them. In the last 3 years, they've traded their only semi-worthwhile asset in DDV and 5 second round picks for the corpse of Serge Ibaka and Jae Crowder.
Taurean Prince with several pathetic defensive possessions here. He's a statue on defense. Bucks down 4.
Dame is 3 for 12. Giannis is 0 for 6 from the line but 2 for 2 from 3.
If the Bucks lose tonight, after tomorrow night's game (at OKC on a back-to-back) they have won 1 of their last 6. Missing Bobby Portis' ability to soak up 20 minutes so Taurean Prince doesn't have to play is killing them.
Lopez misses an 8 footer and Memphis hits a three to go up 7. This is almost over.
Lopez is just out of gas, but without Portis he has to play. I hope everything is Ok with Portis, but missing 6 games in a row seems like a huge amount for a personal issue.
Dame Lillard is 4 for 25 from the field against Memphis this year.
The Bucks are broken in terms of being a title contender. They just don't have the horses and their role players half ass it a lot (Prince).
