The Memphis Grizzlies look to make it eight straight wins against the Dallas Mavericks tonight.
Even with Dallas on an eight-game losing skid and wrapping up a gruelling six-game road trip, my Mavericks vs. Grizzlies predictions and NBA picks have the visitors finally breaking a couple of lengthy slides on Thursday, March 12.
Mavericks vs Grizzlies prediction
Mavericks vs Grizzlies best bet: Mavericks -5 (-110)
The Dallas Mavericks have lost five straight on this trip, with double-digit losses in four of them.
It’s part of a bigger skid, where they’ve gone an NBA-worst 2-18 over the last 20 games, averaging just 109.8 points per game.
But road-weary bodies still beat unhealthy ones, and the Memphis Grizzlies, who’ve also dropped five straight, will be without their leading scorer, rebounder, and assist man, as Santi Aldama, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Ja Morant are all sidelined.
Plus, Cedric Coward, Walter Clayton Jr., and Ty Jerome are all doubtful.
Dallas will avoid a four-game regular-season series sweep.
