Game Preview
The Mavericks have won their previous event, beating the Toronto Raptors at home, 124-102. After three losses in a row, all vs. teams from LA (Lakers and Clippers x2), they triumphed, with Anthony Davis leading the way.
Davis had a triple-double, his first of the year – 23 points, 13 boards, 10 assists. Brandon Williams and Max Christie got off the bench to score 17 points each.
The Grizzlies lost back-to-back games and fell into the play-in zone. They now have to battle for the home-court edge and save the season by just entering the postseason, not being in the top four in the West.
Both defeats came against direct rivals, which might shake the Grizzlies’ morale. They’ve also lost the past 4 games at home, which is another big problem for this crew.

Mavericks vs. Grizzlies Predictions
The Grizzlies have to win this one. Dallas isn’t at their level, even though Memphis plays unstable basketball, so we think betting on the Grizzlies is the best option here.
