Grizzlies and Bucks Meet at Fiserv
The Memphis Grizzlies take on the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on Wednesday night.

The Grizzlies (25-50) are naturally playing out the string on a non-contending season, but they're still playing competitively on occasion and are coming off having snapped a three-game losing streak with a 110-108 win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday night. Jaren Jackson Jr. led the Grizzlies with 40 points, complementing them with seven rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks. Luke Kennard tallied 19 points, eight assists, three rebounds and one steal. Brandon Clarke furnished 15 points, seven boards, two blocks and one steal. Jake LaRavia supplied 12 points, four rebounds and two assists. GG Jackson recorded 11 points, four boards, four assists and one block.

The Grizzlies will list John Konchar (heel) as questionable for Wednesday's game. Desmond Bane (back), Marcus Smart (finger), Yuta Watanabe (personal) and Vince Williams (knee) will remain out.

The Bucks (47-28) are fighting to hold off the Cleveland Cavaliers for the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference, but they haven't helped themselves in that regard by losing three of their last four contests. Their most recent stumble was particularly surprising, as it came against an injury-hampered and non-contending Wizards squad by a 117-113 margin Tuesday night. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with a 35-point, 15-rebound, 10-assist triple-double. Khris Middleton delivered 24 points, nine rebounds, six assists and two steals. Pat Connaughton turned in 15 points, eight boards, five assists and one block. Bobby Portis generated a 12-point, 12-assist double-double that included three assists and one block.

The Bucks will likely list Damian Lillard (personal/groin) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) as no better than questionable for Wednesday's game.

Wednesday's game marks the second and final meeting between the teams this season. The Grizzlies hold a 1-0 series lead.
