On Jan. 13, 2026, several sportsbooks opened “next team” markets for Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant, installing the Milwaukee Bucks as the favorite should the two-time All-Star be traded.
The wagering option allows bettors to speculate on Morant’s next NBA franchise if Memphis decides to move the former No. 2 overall pick. Opening numbers place Milwaukee at the shortest odds, ahead of every other club on the board.
The posting represents oddsmakers’ projections rather than confirmation of trade talks. The Grizzlies have not announced any intention to deal Morant, and no team has publicly acknowledged negotiations.
Betting markets of this kind typically shift quickly as money comes in, but as of the market’s launch the Bucks hold the top position.
