Tonight’s Action

Milwaukee Bucks at Memphis Grizzlies, 8 p.m. ET

Odds: Bucks -6 || O/U 234

Pick: The Bucks haven’t been particularly good on the road (7-9), but the Grizzlies aren’t exactly dominant at home (7-10). 

In the first meeting between the teams this season, look for the Bucks to control the boards and for Giannis Antetokounmpo to go off offensively. Lay the points with Milwaukee and take the over.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner, score, and first goal-scorer of Capitals-Bruins. Washington won 2-1 in a shootout. Boston’s David Pastrnak opened the scoring.

Sports Section had the Caps on the moneyline but missed on the over 6.

Subscriber Michael Alper (@mikealper) had the Capitals and came closest to the score. David Nagelberg (@SportsGuruDave) predicted Pastrnak scoring first. Good job, guys.

Keep the picks coming!
