Bucks v Grizzlies

Brook Lopez O5.5 Assists & Rebounds

  • Play - 1 Unit

Why Brook Lopez is Set to Soar Over 5.5 Assists and Rebounds Against the Memphis Grizzlies!

Hold onto your phone here, folks! We’re diving into the stats and sizzling predictions as the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Memphis Grizzlies. Let’s break down why Brook Lopez is primed to dominate and clear that 5.5 assists and rebounds line like a pro!

Grizzly Matchup Breakdown 🐾

First off, let’s talk about the Memphis Grizzlies. They’re currently ranking 24th in the league when it comes to opponents' rebounding—yikes! They’re allowing a hefty 47.6 rebounds per game. That’s like giving a buffet to a hungry giant! Lopez, standing tall at 7 feet, is more than ready to feast on those boards. Lopez will be maximised in order to deal with the Memphis new giant rookie Zach Edey standing at 7’4….. one thing you would never say Brook Lopez has an advantage in is mobility, but in this case he really does which is scary.

Lopez’s Recent Numbers 📈

Now, let’s zoom in on Lopez’s recent performances. Here’s the inside on his rebounding stats so far this season:

  • Game 1: 8 rebounds

  • Game 2: 4 rebounds

  • Game 3: 4 rebounds

  • Game 4: 6 rebounds

Those numbers are looking solid, right? But wait, there’s more! While his assists have been a bit of a mixed bag, he kicked off the season with a bang, tallying 6 assists in his first game. Not to mention, he combined for 14 points, rebounds, and assists (PRA) in that opener.

Historical Context 🔍

Here’s where it gets epic: every center logging 20+ minutes has gone over this 5.5 line against the Grizzlies! Last season, Lopez put up 13 and 11 rebounds and assists in his matchups against them. Talk about a familiar playground for The Wookie!

And with Zach Edey being a bit less mobile, you can bet Lopez will be hustling, ready to gobble up those rebounds.

Grizzlies’ Fatigue Factor 💤

And here’s the end game: The Grizzlies are coming off a back-to-back game after allowing 119 points to the Brooklyn Nets! Talk about a long night! With Memphis likely to be a bit weary, expect them to throw up plenty of shots, giving Lopez ample opportunity to snag rebounds—and possibly dish out a few assists.

The Assist Upside 📊

Plus, let’s not forget that Lopez's rebounds line is sitting at 4.5 while we’re getting that 5.5 RA line. He’s averaging 3.5 potential assists per game, meaning he’s primed for a bump in that department. In a matchup he dominated last year, with every center stepping up against the Grizzlies this season, it’s all lining up for Lopez to have a big night.

The Verdict 🚀

In summary, with the Grizzlies’ rebounding struggles and Lopez's stellar history against them, it’s looking like he’ll not only crush the 5.5 assists and rebounds line but may even blow past it!
