The Memphis Grizzlies will play hosts to the Milwaukee Bucks for their upcoming NBA 2025-26 regular-season clash on Friday, December 26. This will be the first time these teams will be up against each other in the ongoing NBA season. The Grizzlies will enter the face-off on the back of a blowout victory over the Utah Jazz. With the win, they improved their seasonal win-loss record to 14-16.

The Bucks, on the other hand, are coming off an easy win over the Indiana Pacers. Through the win, they not only put an end to their three-game losing streak, but also went 12-18 up in the standings. The game saw Kevin Porter Jr. drop 24 points for the Bucks, while Ryan Rollins came up with 23 points off the bench. In addition to them, Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis and Myles Turner dropped 15, 14, and 10 points respectively.
