Memphis Grizzlies: 3 most important games remaining on the 2021 schedule

No. 2: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Dallas Mavericks

This game, among the three you’ll read about, is the least important. The Memphis Grizzlies will want to win against the Dallas Mavericks later in the year, but Luka Doncic and the rest of his team already hold the tiebreaker over the Grizz.

That said, there isn’t a game that this team will be motivated to win more than this one.

On Wednesday night, the Grizzlies outplayed the Mavericks from start to finish but became the victim of a Luka Doncic clutch shot. Luka didn’t do it all himself though — he had help from Grayson Allen, who missed both free throws at the end of the game despite being a 90% shooter from the charity stripe.

Expect the Grizzlies to come out with a lot of energy in this late-season clash between teams on the verge of an NBA Playoff spot. Regardless of the implication, this one is going to have some great energy near the end of the season.

Grizzlies fans will be hoping that they can give the Mavericks a taste of the pain that they had to experience the other night.
