Dallas Mavericks vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Grizzlies are at home, healthier, the better team, and this game is important in terms of seeding. However, this game is also important for the Mavs, as they could get home court in the play-in with a victory. Also, the last two games for the Grizzlies were important and they faded against the Timberwolves and Nuggets. A double-digit line is a bit rich for a Grizzlies team that picks and chooses when to show up. The Mavs should also be motivated. I’ll grab the points with the Mavericks.
