Memphis Grizzlies vs. Dallas Mavericks Game Preview (Grizzly Bear Blues)

The Grizzlies could be getting a key cog back as Grizzlies Head Coach Taylor Jenkins mentioned before last night's game that they were easing Dillon Brooks back ...

The first back-to-back of the season is always tough to gauge. Bane has struggled through his first two games of the season, but this is a great opportunity for the two guard to get back on track. The over/under hasn’t been released yet, but these two teams don’t put up a lot of points when playing one another either. Length that always causes the Grizzlies issues in their matchups. Hopefully the Grizzlies can continue to make things gritty on the boards, as this will play a huge role in a win or loss tonight. Just going off of where these two teams stand right now, it’s going to be a tough one for Memphis. The Grizzlies will see two really good Centers in JaVale McGee and Christian Wood tonight for the Mavericks. Rebounds that lead to second chance points, and getting out in transition off of opponents missed shots - areas that the Grizzlies thrive in. The Grizzlies shooters will need to find their rhythm on Saturday night more than anything. The Grizzlies will need to rebound by committee once again on Saturday night if they want to continue their winning streak. Furthermore, they have a bit of momentum on their side against Memphis, as the Mavericks have won three straight regular season contests against the Grizzlies and have had time to rest up since Wednesday. [Houston Rockets](https://www.thedreamshake.com) last night, the Memphis Grizzlies face off with a very familiar Southwest division opponent in the Dallas Mavericks.

Luka Doncic lights up the Grizzlies for a 40-point double-double in a Mavericks win.

They have all the player props for fans looking to scratch their gambling itch on Saturday. The over/under for the Mavs home opener is 220.5 points. Memphis is 2-0 and Morant is averaging over 40 points per game, but things will be a bit tougher in Dallas on Oct.

NBA Odds: Grizzlies vs. Mavericks prediction, odds and pick (ClutchPoints)

The Grizzlies face the Mavericks. Our NBA odds series has our Grizzlies Mavericks prediction, odds and pick.

The Mavs are fresh and rested, having not played over the past two days. The Grizzlies should be able to keep this game close. The Grizzlies were taken to overtime by the New York Knicks after owning a big first-half lead at home in their season opener. The Mavs unraveled in the second half and lost to the Suns on a late basket by former Golden State Warrior Damion Lee. The Mavericks have played one game, the Grizzlies two. The early days of the NBA season are wild and crazy, as they usually are.

Grizzlies vs Mavericks Picks and Predictions: Bane's Shooting ... (Covers.com)

NBA odds, picks, and predictions for the Memphis Grizzlies at Dallas Mavericks on October 22. NBA betting best bet and free pick analysis.

Houston has some intriguing prospects but allowing the Rockets to hang 122 (including another 50 points in the paint) is an indictment of the Grizzlies' early-season interior defense. The Mavericks' defense faces its own questions as they try to integrate Christian Wood and JaVale McGee into an already stuffed frontcourt rotation. Outside of free throws and dunks, the most valuable shot on an NBA court is an open corner three. Last season, they allowed the seventh-fewest 3-point attempts as a proportion of the opposing teams' offense in the NBA, per [Cleaning the Glass](https://cleaningtheglass.com/). While Memphis has opened the season with a pair of wins, neither was particularly impressive (except for the play of Morant of course, who has looked sensational). in the lineup, they struggled to contain a fairly modest Knicks offense, allowing a borderline disastrous 68 points in the paint. Losing depth pieces like Kyle Anderson and De’Anthony Melton makes Memphis’ defensive scheme more vulnerable to absences than they were last season. The Grizzlies first showed some vulnerability to the New York Knicks in their opener. [Dallas Mavericks](https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/teams/main/dallas-mavericks) play a lot of rangey, smart players on the wing including Dorian Finney-Smith and Reggie Bullock, who make life hard on perimeter scorers. It would be aggressive to pick a line based on a two-game body of work, but those numbers are in line with Bane’s performance in the preseason, where he shot just 24% from deep over four games. Also, because of that quick turnaround, I’d lean toward Dallas in this matchup. The assumption was naturally that he’d rehab and come back better than ever, but Bane is still a young player, and development at the NBA level is not linear.

5 takeaways from Mavericks' dominant win against Grizzlies | NBA ... (NBA.com)

Luka Doncic and Dallas storm out of the gates in the 1st quarter to make a statement in their home opener.

The Mavericks sprinted to a 28-point lead in the first half on Saturday, and Memphis didn’t possess enough firepower to overcome the deficit. Through the first two games, the 27-year-old is averaging a cool 25 points and 10 rebounds. At least the latter seems to be the case when examining the way Wood has meshed seamlessly with his new teammates in Dallas over the first two games. “The first two games against the Suns [in the Western Conference Semifinals] I was not good. “I’m motivated coming off the bench or starting, either way.” But so far, it appears the Mavericks have developed a high level of chemistry quickly, despite losing guard Jalen Brunson in free agency and bringing in a pair of new bigs in Wood and JaVale McGee. The 23-year-old drilled 8 of 10 from the floor and 3 of 4 from deep in the first quarter to go with four rebounds and three assists. “Like I said before the season: I’ve got to improve at that. First, Memphis entered the game without its two top defenders in Jaren Jackson Jr., who is still recovering from a June surgery on his right foot, and Dillon Brooks (thigh). The hard work early on resulted in Doncic punching the clock after just 2 1/2 quarters of clobbering the Grizzlies. OK, the headline here is a little misleading. “A lot is asked of those two guys.
