Bet on the Memphis Grizzlies at -1
While the Grizzlies are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games, they are still a tough contender. Especially since they lead the NBA in defensive efficiency giving them a major advantage on the court.
Dallas will be playing without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving may or many not play tonight. However, even if he does, he still has not shown the potential the Mavericks were hoping for. At the moment, the Mavericks are 5-6 since Irving became part of the team and 3-8 ATS. Therefore, we predict that Memphis Grizzlies will win with a final score of 113-107.
