The NBA is in shock due to the Luka Doncic trade to the Los Angeles Lakers 10 hours ago. Meanwhile The Milwaukee Bucks will square off with the Memphis Grizzlies in a very exciting matchup between two of the best teams in the NBA.
The LA Lakers traded for Luka Doncic and will give away Anthony Davis. The NBA is in shock. Luka Doncic is one of the biggest assets in the NBA and to trade him away at 25 years old without shopping him around is hard to grasp at this point. Reports from the states say that Luka did not request the trade and it happened on the initiative of the Mavs. Nico Harrison, GM of the Mavs, said in a statement that titles are won by defence. That is the main reason they traded for Davis. The Lakers are massive winners of this trade.
The Grizzlies have won eight out of their last ten games in the NBA. Their previous game was at home to The Houston Rockets. The anticipated game between two of the best teams in the West was won by Memphis, 120-119. Jarren Jackson Jr had a great game and made the winning shot at the end. So did Desmond Bane and the Spaniard, Santi Aldana. Aldana made a crucial big defensive play in the clutch. Ja Morant didn't play and is questionable for The Bucks game.
The Grizzlies are third in the West with the exact same record as the second placed Houston Rockets. That is 32 wins and 16 losses. The Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins, said after the loss to the Rockets that the Grizzlies have to improve their defence moving forward. Marcus Smart, Vince Wiliams and Cam Spencer are out for The Grizzlies.
Milwaukee currently sit at the fifth position in the Eastern Conference with a record of 26 wins and 20 losses. The Bucks have lost two straight games and have to turn things around versus Memphis. Milwaukee just lost to The San Antonio Spurs (118- 144) and The Portland Trail Blazers (112-125). The Bucks have won six out of their last ten games. Milwaukee lost to Memphis in the first game of the season, 99-122. Bobby Portis will miss the game tonight. That has just made the burden heavier for their starting center Brook Lopez.
