The Memphis Grizzlies have been an exciting team to watch this season. They currently hold a 12-10 record and sit fifth in the Western Conference.

Despite Ja Morant's absence, the Grizzlies have managed to keep themselves competitive this season. Nevertheless, the team will hope to have the 22-year-old back as soon as possible.

The Memphis Grizzlies are unbeaten in three games and will be keen to continue their streak in Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.


Key Player - Jaren Jackson Jr.

Jaren Jackson Jr. has been one of the most exciting players to watch this season. He is averaging 16.0 PPG and 5.6 RPG in the 22 games he has played so far.

With Ja Morant absent, Jackson automatically becomes a key part of the Memphis Grizzlies team. The 22-year-old is coming off a 27-point performance against the OKC Thunder and will be hoping to carry the same form to the American Airlines Center on Saturday.

The Dallas Mavericks showed a lot of promise after a terrific preseason. However, the team has not had a great campaign so far. They currently hold an 11-10 record.

Kristapas Porzingis and Luka Doncic have been excellent together. This is a great sign for the Mavericks as there were concerns regarding the chemistry between the two.
