Milwaukee Bucks vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/26/25

The day after Christmas will feature an East versus West matchup when the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Memphis Grizzlies. The Bucks have a record of 12-18 and are only 4-10 on the road. Milwaukee has lost 3 of its last 4 games, but the Bucks did win their last game against the Indiana Pacers 111-94. Kevin Porter Jr. led the team with 24 points and 5 assists, and the Bucks held their opponent to 41% shooting and 26% from three.

The Grizzlies have a record of 14-16 and a home record of 6-8. Memphis has lost 2 of their its 3 games, but they are coming off a 137-128 win over the Utah Jazz. Santi Aldama led the Grizzlies in scoring with 37 points. It is the second time Aldama has scored 37 points in his last 3 games. He also scored 37 against the Washington Wizards on December 20th. 

Both the Bucks and the Grizzlies are trying to work their way back to .500 in spite of some key injuries on both sides. Giannis Antetokounmpo is getting closer to making his return to the floor, but he will miss another game tonight. The Grizzlies will be without Zach Edey, Ty Jerome, Brandon Clarke, and Vince Williams Jr. tonight. Ja Morant is still listed as questionable to return from an ankle injury tonight. With injuries to their top players, each team has needed their younger talent to step up. The Bucks have found a duo of scoring guards with Porter Jr. and Ryan Rollins. The pair is averaging a combined 37.6 points per game this season. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have seen Aldama step up. In his last game, Aldama hit a career-best 7 threes against Utah. They also benefitted from 18 points from GG Jackson II in his first start of the season after being called up from the G League. With Bobby Portis and Myles Turner being able to match up against Jaren Jackson Jr. and Aldama, I don’t see any advantage that either team has over the other. I will side with the Bucks and the points.
