Chris Livingston putting in work on the offensive glass in his first bit of NBA action. And-one finish for him and he’s up to six points in five minutes. – 10:17 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
It’s been a real struggle for the Bucks to start the fourth quarter. Not able to do much offensively.

Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz
4th quarter on deck.

After three quarters, the Grizzlies lead, 76-71.
Jae Crowder is leading the Bucks with 14 points. Pat Connaughton is next with 13 points. Malik Beasley (11) and Lopez are both in double digits as well. – 9:50 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Aye, Luke Kennard got a bag 😂 – 9:49 PM

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Jake LaRavia is back on the floor. Still wiggling that wrist. – 9:45 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Andre Jackson Jr. getting his first run of the night.
He’s out there with Wigginton, Green, Crowder, and Lopez. – 9:45 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Jake LaRavia is going back in the game – 9:45 PM

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Jake LaRavia is up and walking off the court after hitting the deck hard on the offensive end. I saw him mouth an “I’m fine,” but that looked painful. Held his wrist. – 9:44 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
That’s a hard fall for LaRavia. Connaughton tried to meet him at the summit, but made a bit too much contact and LaRavia fell hard.
Bucks up, 68-67, with 2:33 left in the third quarter. – 9:43 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Jake LaRavia was down in pain. Holding his right wrist. He’s walking off right now, clinching his hand. – 9:43 PM

Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
I think Bane and JJJ are ready for the regular season. – 9:40 PM

Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz
LOOK OUT pic.twitter.com/fERNZDM43o – 9:40 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Second straight game where 3-point shooting has been subpar. Thats a big area where the Grizzlies want and should improve, but the results aren’t there yet. They are 8-for-27 from three midway through the third quarter today after shooting 8-for-38 on Sunday. – 9:39 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
When ziaire gets to that middy, you can almost count it. – 9:36 PM

Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz
WHO RUN IT??????????????? @Ziaire pic.twitter.com/BatcuUQRHg – 9:34 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Jaren Jackson Jr. and Desmond Bane have been really good. I think that duo will need to be bigger than big in the first 25 games.
Grizzlies also getting some solid minutes from Ziaire Williams. He just took flight with a nice finish. – 9:32 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Four turnovers in the first three and a half minutes of the second half for the Bucks and Adrian Griffin wants a timeout.
Sloppy stretch for the Bucks and the Grizzlies lead, 60-56, with 8:29 left in the third quarter. – 9:32 PM

Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz
Z WILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL – 9:32 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks starters for the second half:
TyTy Washington
Malik Beasley
Pat Connaughton
Jae Crowder
Robin Lopez
Guessing Portis and Brook Lopez are once again done for the night. We’ll see on Cam Payne. – 9:26 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Half: Bucks 53, Grizzlies 51
Lopez 10pts/2reb
Connaughton 10pts
Beasley 8pts
Portis 7pts/8reb/2ast
Crowder 7pts
Payne 6ast – 9:10 PM

Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Ziaire Williams with a couple of nice assists in the lane. Pretty ugly game so far, but he’s helping his case. – 9:06 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
AJ Green on the floor now for the Bucks. Getting his first action of the preseason. – 9:01 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Brook Lopez is too funny, man.
Just shuffled through three defenders after the whistle. Finished with a layup at the rim. And then did a Giannis scream and flex after it.
Pointed at Giannis on the bench and Giannis pointed right back. – 8:59 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Man, Malik Beasley gets his feet set in a hurry and that jumpshot is pretty.
He’s up to 8 points after that 3 and the Bucks lead, 37-33, with 7:17 left in the first half. – 8:51 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Couple nice drives by MarJon Beauchamp.
Got to the rack and the Bucks bench thought the officials missed a goaltend. On the very next play, he went to the rim again and drew a foul. – 8:49 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Kenneth Lofton Jr. and Jake LaRavia getting earlier run today with multiple guys out. – 8:41 PM

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
First half Kenneth Lofton Jr. minutes at FedExForum. Let him cook. – 8:40 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
After one quarter, the Bucks lead, 28-25.
Jae Crowder and Bobby Portis each have 7 points, while Pat Connaughton has added 6 points off the bench. – 8:36 PM

Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Dillon Brooks has been ejected from his first preseason game with Houston for hitting Daniel Theis below the belt. Ejected from Game 3 of last year’s Grizzlies-Lakers series for a similar act against LeBron James. – 8:35 PM

Smooth middy pull-up from Jaquez off the Bam screen
I’d like him to live in that mid-range tbh
He’s comfortable there – 8:29 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bucks second unit tonight is now complete.
Wigginton, Connaughton, Beauchamp, T. Antetokounmpo and R. Lopez. – 8:29 PM

Clay Bailey @claybailey9
New referee Clare Aubry just called a tech on Jae Crowder and Jae heartily disagreed with her interpretation of the call. – 8:29 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Phew. The Bucks are turning up the pressure on defense out of this timeout. Couple unorthodox switches. Lots of ball pressure.
That feels like what Adrian Griffin has been talking about all preseason. – 8:27 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Pat Connaughton is the first sub for the Bucks tonight. Took Beasley’s spot. – 8:26 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Bobby Portis has it going a little bit early. He’s been attacking in transition and now just got into his jab step jumper over Tillman. He has seven points, but the Grizzlies stil lead, 19-16, with 5:07 left in the first quarter. – 8:22 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
After five minutes, the Grizzlies lead, 16-11, in Memphis.
Bucks have forced four turnovers, but they’re 0-for-5 from behind the 3-point line offensively and that has them down early. – 8:18 PM

Eric Nehm @eric_nehm
Malik Beasley promised he was going to dunk it next time he got a breakaway steal.
And he did just that for the Bucks’ first bucket in Memphis. – 8:12 PM

As @memgrizz play second preseason game tonight vs Bucks, Coach Jenkins offered an update on Marcus Smart (ab soreness), who will sit again tonight.
“It’s day-to-day. It’s kind of light core work right now. Just being smart, anticipate a little bit more ramp up as week goes on.” – 8:00 PM

Clay Bailey @claybailey9
Also, for anyone wondering, No Dame or Giannis for the Bucks tonight. So far, the two have not been on the floor together since the trade. – 7:49 PM

Clay Bailey @claybailey9
Time to start shaking off the rust for my 23rd season of covering the Grizzlies. I was a young man when this started.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is on the floor for a pregame workout here in Memphis.
(Note: He was on the floor for a workout before Sunday’s game as well, so this should not be seen as any sort of indication of his status for tonight’s game.) pic.twitter.com/hcCWN0PzUV – 6:01 PM

Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Marcus Smart is dressed in street clothes again tonight so looks safe to say he’s not playing. – 6:01 PM

Mavs-related notes from NBA.com GM survey.
Mavs projected to finish 9th in West.
Doncic got 4th-highest MVP votes, 10% of GMs. Last year he was first with 48%.
If starting a franchise, GMs want 1. Jokic, 2. Wemby, 3. Giannis, 4. Luka.
