Honorable Mention: Dallas Mavericks (April 12)

This matchup won’t be as big as their Nov. 18 matchup, when Chandler Parsons returns to Dallas. However, their final game may have more implications.

Both Memphis and Dallas are playoff-quality teams, so this game may determine seeding. Barring any injuries, the Memphis Grizzlies should be jockeying for seeds 3-6; and Dallas for 6-8.

Their lineup matchups are sneaky good, if everyone is healthy. Mike Conley versus Deron Williams. Tony Allen against Wes Matthews. Chandler Parsons battling against his replacement, Harrison Barnes. Zach Randolph and Dirk Nowitzki matched up at the 4.

Marc Gasol and Andrew Bogut battling it out in the middle.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks could possibly be a first round match-up. This April 12th game could be a preview of a great playoff series.
