Grizzlies vs Mavericks Pick

Memphis G Ja Morant is still dealing with a left elbow injury and will not suit up for this contest. These two teams have similar statistical profiles and I would lean with the Grizzlies getting points. The stronger play is to take the over. Final Score Prediction, Dallas Mavericks win 124-119.
