The Mavericks are coming into this game with a 26-20 record overall and they are 14-9 in their home games this regular season where they will be in this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 games but are coming off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 4 game winning streak that they were on.

The Grizzlies are coming into this game as a 3.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Grizzlies have risen recently to be one of the best teams in the Western Conference this season. They have started to play better recently winning 2 of their last 3 games and the Mavericks are a little banged up for this game. They may be missing their star Luka Doncic here which will be a big blow to their offense but this is also a big revenge game for the Grizzlies as well. The Grizzlies lost to the Mavericks a little over a week ago but that loss snapped an 11 game win streak that they were on. The Grizzlies will be out for blood in this game and they have the talent to win this game straight up with how well they have been playing this season. The best bet to place in this game is on the Grizzlies to cover the spread here.
