Grizzlies at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 116, Grizzlies 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Mavericks (-450) are the better team, even with both at full strength, but they are taking on a short-handed Grizzlies side. No play on the moneyline has value here.

Against the spread

LEAN GRIZZLIES +9.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies haven't played to expectations this season but have covered in 3 of their last 6.

The Mavericks have lost 3 of their last 5, so Dallas has struggled more than expected recently as well.

Considering those trends, take GRIZZLIES +9.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 230.5 (-110).

The Grizzlies are 6-11 O/U and have gone Under in 5 straight games. They have failed to top 91 in 2 of their last 4 and have failed to top 100 in 4 of their last 5.

Memphis just doesn't have a capable offense without Morant on the court. The Mavs do but have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 as well. They have scored 105 or fewer in 2 of their last 3.

Take UNDER 230.5 (-110).
