The Memphis Grizzlies face the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center in what promises to be a crunch encounter between two sides from the West.
The Memphis Grizzlies have been quite inconsistent this season. Their overall record of 13-13 makes that clear. The Grizzlies were on a two-game winning streak before losing to the in-form Suns in their last game.
On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks have underperformed this season but have been brilliant in the last few games. Luka Doncic and Co. have registered four wins in their last five outings. They will look to outperform the Memphis Grizzlies in a bid to continue this excellent run and enter the playoff positions.
