Mavericks at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 116, Mavericks 111
Moneyline
While Doncic could return for the Mavericks, give me the GRIZZLIES (-135) at home as they could widen the gap in the Southwest Division with a win.
Against the spread
GRIZZLIES -2.5 (-108) is how I’d bet the spread as Memphis is 29-5 at home this season compared to Dallas’ 14-22 record on the road. Even without Morant on the floor, the Grizzlies continue to find ways to win. With such a short spread they have a good chance at the cover if they’re able to pick up the outright victory.
The Grizzlies are 21-12-1 ATS at home this season, while the Mavericks are 15-20 ATS on the road.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 229.5 (-110).
Doncic and Irving could be active on Monday, but the Under has connected in 2 of the first 3 meetings between these teams this season. The Mavericks are also 6-1 to the Under in their last 7 games against a team with a winning record, and the Grizzlies are 6-0 to the Under in their last 6 against a team with a winning record.
