The Memphis Grizzlies play host to the Milwaukee Bucks at FedEx Forum on Friday evening.

The Grizzlies (8-16) return home from a four-game road trip to begin a three-game home stand. They went 2-2 on their road trip and have dropped seven of their last 10 games. They have dropped six in a row at home, where they are 3-10 this season. The Grizzlies will be without their leading scorer, Ja Morant (back), as he will not play on Friday. Jaren Jackson Jr. averages 16.5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, while Jonas Valanciunas is averaging 13.9 points and a team-high 9.8 rebounds per game. Dillon Brooks tallied 27 points in the Grizzlies' last contest and is averaging 14 points over the last 10 games. The Grizzlies are averaging 109.0 points per game, but they are giving up 116.0 points per game, which is fifth most in the league. They are averaging 26.3 assists per game, but will be without Morant, who leads the team in assists per game. Tyus Jones is averaging 4.8 assists per game.

Meanwhile, the Bucks (22-3) have won 16 games in a row, including their most recent contest where their MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo (thigh) was sidelined. Antetokounmpo remains questionable for action on Friday, but the Bucks can lean on other guys, including Khris Middleton, who is averaging 17.1 points on 52 percent shooting over his last eight games. Eric Bledsoe is averaging 15.2 points, 5.7 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game. Donte DiVincenzo has been playing well lately, averaging 8.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals, in 24 minutes per game over the last 10 games. The Bucks are the highest-scoring team in the league, averaging 120.8 points per game. They shoot 48.4 percent from the field, which is second best in the league.
