Not much has changed since the Mavericks last squared off against the Grizzlies just over a week ago. Memphis has good wins against Chicago and Denver, dropping only a single game against the reigning champion Bucks. In no small part due to missing big contributors Desmond Bane and Kyle Anderson to health and safety protocols.
For their part, Dallas has also stayed hot. They’ve won three of four with the only loss coming against the Phoenix Suns, which shouldn’t even count as a real loss because Dallas may simply never beat the Suns ever again. It’s been over two years.
