The Memphis Grizzlies (25-52) head to Fiserv Forum to face the Milwaukee Bucks (30-47) on Sunday, April 5, in a late-season matchup that will be played at 3:30 p.m. ET. Memphis will look to snap a three-game losing streak, while Milwaukee — also enduring a difficult campaign — will try to capitalize at home in front of local fans.
The game will be televised regionally on FDSSE, FDSWI and WMLW, with streaming and ticket options listed through partner links; tickets are available on StubHub. Betting lines and additional streaming and ticketing links in the game preview are provided by partners of The Athletic, with odds supplied by BetMGM.
Injury reports published in The Athletic’s watch guide show both teams will be shorthanded. The Bucks’ report lists Kevin Porter Jr. as out for the season with a knee injury; Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out with an ankle issue. Guard Ryan Rollins is questionable with a hip concern, while Bobby Portis (wrist) and Gary Trent Jr. (hip) are also listed as out. The Athletic notes the status labels are from team reports compiled for the game preview.
Memphis’s injury list in the watch guide is extensive. The Grizzlies’ notes mark Santi Aldama, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Scotty Pippen Jr., Zach Edey, Brandon Clarke, Jaylen Wells, Ja Morant and several others as out for the season or out with various injuries. Additional players are listed as questionable, probable or day-to-day, including Jahmai Mashack (neck), Walter Clayton (hip, questionable), Taj Gibson (probable, foot), Gregory Jackson II (day-to-day, knee), Cam Spencer and Cedric Coward (day-to-day, back), and Javon Small (thigh, out). The watch guide was created using technology from Data Skrive, and the game notes accompany The Athletic’s regional broadcast information.
Statistically the matchup shows a notable defensive disparity on paper. The Bucks average 110.5 points per game this season, while Memphis allows 119.6 points per game — a difference the preview highlights as a potential vulnerability for the Grizzlies. Conversely, Memphis scores 114.8 points per game while Milwaukee’s opponents average 116.9 points against the Bucks. With several starters and rotation players sidelined for both clubs, those season averages may not reflect how each team looks on the floor Sunday, when reserves and younger players could see heavier minutes.
Sunday’s meeting is part of a stretch of late-season games that will likely be used by coaches to evaluate depth pieces and give emerging players extended runs in real-game situations. With rosters depleted by injuries, the outing at Fiserv Forum offers both teams a chance to assess bench contributors and give some less-experienced players additional exposure before the offseason.
