\"\"<\/a>
The Milwaukee Bucks are 5-0 ATS in their last five games in Memphis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Milwaukee has won five of its last six games, including a 98-93 victory over the Indiana Pacers as 2.5-point home favorites last night, while going OVER the posted total for a second-straight contest.\u00a0 The Bucks were led by point guard Brandon Jennings, who scored a season-high 34 points.\u00a0 \u201cBrandon was good from the get-go,\u201d stated Bucks forward Mike Dunleavy.\u00a0 He is averaging 22.8 points in five career games in this series.\u00a0 Milwaukee is 0-3 ATS when playing on back-to-back days this year, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NBA picks against the spread.<\/p>\n

The Bucks will be finishing up their fifth back-to-back set of the 2012-13 NBA season, as they\u2019ve gone 2-2 in the second game thus far, averaging 93.3 points per game.\u00a0 Milwaukee suffered a 108-90 loss to Memphis as one-point home underdogs in the first meeting this year, while the UNDER has cashed in the last four games in this series.<\/p>\n

Memphis has won back-to-back games since suffering through a three-game losing streak, coming off an 80-71 victory over the Chicago Bulls as 6.5-point home favorites, while going UNDER the total for a fifth consecutive affair.\u00a0 \u201cWe\u2019ll take it,\u201d commented Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph.\u00a0 The Grizzlies are shooting just 42.3 percent over their last five games, but continue to rely heavily on a defense that leads the NBA in surrendering just 90.0 points per game.\u00a0 Memphis is 8-3 ATS at home this season, something to consider when looking over the pro basketball odds page.<\/p>\n

The Grizzlies are off to their best record in franchise history through 22 games, which is very impressive when you consider they\u2019ve faced the league\u2019s ninth-most difficult schedule.\u00a0 Memphis has won 21 of its last 23 games at FedExForum, which fits nicely with the team\u2019s 7-3 ATS mark as a home favorite.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about reaching 100 or more points for this squad, as it has won all nine games this season when doing so.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Bucks due to their 5-0 ATS mark in Memphis, while the Grizzlies are 3-4 ATS this month.<\/p>\n
