Mavericks at Grizzlies picks and predictions
Prediction
Grizzlies 115, Mavericks 107
Moneyline
PASS.
The Grizzlies are too expensive to play outright here, and the Mavericks will be short their 2 key playmaking options, making them not a great option either.
Against the spread
BET GRIZZLIES -4.5 (-115).
The Mavericks haven’t been able to find much offensive rhythm without Irving and Doncic in the lineup. They have scored 100 points or fewer in 2 of their last 3 games and in 4 of their last 6. Dallas is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 contests and 1-5 ATS in the last 6.
The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and have covered as a favorite of 5 points or greater in their previous 2 games at FedExForum. Considering those trends, play GRIZZLIES -4.5 (-115).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 231.5 (-110).
The Mavericks haven’t been able to find consistent scoring, and their defense has maintained some form over the last few weeks. Since Dec. 21, they have allowed over 110 points in 2 of 8 of games. Dallas is 3-6 O/U in its previous 9.
Memphis is 5-4-1 O/U in its last 10 games. While it has sustained scoring without Morant in the lineup, Memphis’ stars will be absent as well. It has scored more than 117 points just once in its last 4 games. Take UNDER 231.5 (-110).
