Dallas Mavericks vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Memphis Grizzlies have played more games, and they should have a chemistry advantage, but they’ve also been on the struggle bus offensively and aren’t shooting well through four games. The Dallas Mavericks have to be better defensively if they’re going to compete in summer league, but they did nearly beat the Jazz in their first summer league game. If anything, the heartbreaking one point loss should be a motivation factor to actually finish this time. The Mavs could also shoot the ball better from the field. This has the feel of a game decided in the final five minutes. Give me the Mavs and the free buckets.
