On a jam-packed Saturday for sports fans, the NBA slate has two quality games, as the Celtics take on the Bucks in the afternoon and the Warriors host the Grizzlies in the late slot.

Both matchups are deadlocked at 1-1 as it stands, and these contests serve as key battles to determine the balance of each series.

The Grizzlies will be without Dillon Brooks after he was suspended for a flagrant two foul in the second game of the series. Gary Payton II is out for the game for the Warriors with an elbow fracture after being injured on the play.

Marcus Smart will likely return for the Celtics after he missed Game 2, but Khris Middleton remains out for the Bucks in Games 3 and 4, at the very least.

Here's how the Action Network's NBA PRO Report is projecting edges ahead of the day.
