The Dallas Mavericks, who have lost their last two games, take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday.
Currently seventh in the Western Conference, the Dallas Mavericks will look for a change in fortunes to rekindle their playoff hopes. They missed the services of Kristaps Porzingis in their last game against the Philadelphia 76ers, as a 32-point performance from Luka Doncic wasn't enough to get them across the line.
The Memphis Grizzlies, meanwhile, have multiple injury concerns but have won their last two games. The Grizzlies have difficult fixtures in the coming weeks and will need the likes of Jonas Valanciunas and Ja Morant to step up. They are currently eighth in the Western Conference after making a 27-25 start to their campaign.
