The rambunctious third-placed Memphis Grizzlies take on the Milwaukee Bucks in Sunday night interconference NBA action. With Ja Morant doubtful to play tonight, the Grizzlies' playmakers will need to step up for their team to have any hope in defeating the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. Thankfully, Morant's absence opens up a plethora of value on the NBA player props board.
Take a peek at my favorite Grizzlies vs Bucks player props:
Giannis Antetokounmpo 35+ Points +115 at Sportsbook
Giannis has been on an absolute tear of late. The Greek superstar has been destroying the NBA, while averaging 32.2 points, 13.2 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game across his last 10 contests.
Back on Halloween, Antetokounmpo lit up Memphis for 37 points on 77% shooting. Look for the Bucks' superstar to keep that momentum going on Sunday night.
The Greek Freak's reign continues. 🔋

The best of @Giannis_An34 this season! https://t.co/i3rarN2FBy pic.twitter.com/Khazr8yaH6
After all, Giannis is taking a career-high 20.9 shots per game, with a phenomenal 62.5% true-shooting percentage. He's laid waste to the Association, while putting up 35+ points in four straight games. Bet on the Greek Freak to go off again tonight at home against Memphis.
Grizzlies vs Bucks Player Prop Pick: Giannis Antetokounmpo 35+ Points
Andre Jackson Jr. OVER 4.5 Points +100 At Sportsbook
Bucks' sophomore Andre Jackson Jr. has burst onto the scene this season. Jackson Jr.'s three-point shooting has been a welcome sight for a Milwaukee team that lacks perimeter threats outside of Dame Lillard. Thus, Jackson Jr. continues to be relied upon further by head coach Doc Rivers, averaging nearly 19 minutes per game across his last five, while playing over 25 minutes in each of the Bucks last two contests.
Per Outlier, Andre Jackson Jr. has exceeded 4.5 points in four of his last five games versus bottom-10 defenses, while averaging six points per game in those games. The one-time end of bench player has played an important role for Milwaukee as an off-the-bench flamethrower. Expect Jackson Jr. to continue his hot streak tonight at home against the Grizzlies.
Grizzlies vs Bucks Player Prop Pick: Andre Jackson Jr. OVER 4.5 Points
Brandon Clarke UNDER 8.5 Points -110 At Sportsbook
Canadian forward Brandon Clarke has been on quite the run for the Grizzlies of late, so this is the perfect spot to fade him.
Milwaukee allows the the sixth-fewest points to the power forward position - which should come as no surprise with the towering presence of Giannis and Brooks Lopez inside. Plus, Clarke is at his best as a pick-and-roll threat steaming downhill to the hoop. Without the threat of Morant, Clarke's impact on Sunday's game will be lessened.
Clarke's averaged just 18 minutes per game, while attempting only 5.7 shots per game this season. Don't expect those numbers to go up against the Bucks towering interior defense.
