The Bucks have one of the most talented rosters in the league led by Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

However, they are coming off a season where they lost in the first round of the NBA playoffs (and dealt with injuries).

Right now, the Bucks are 1-3 in their first four games of the 2024-25 season.

Following the Grizzlies, they will return home to host Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday evening in Milwaukee.
