Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks odds, starters, injury reports and predictions

The Memphis Grizzlies (30-14) host the Dallas Mavericks (22-19) amid a franchise-best eleven-game winning streak.

The bad boys from Beale Street haven’t lost since Dec. 23, 2021 and own the best record in the NBA since Dec. 1.

Even more so, the team has been winning games without their head coach for some of these wins. Taylor Jenkins has missed some time to attend a funeral and for being in Health & Safety Protocols.

It just goes to show you the foundation this franchise has laid and the buy-in from players, personnel and training staff.

The Grizzlies now turn their attention to winning their twelfth consecutive game when Dallas comes to town. Memphis defeated the Mavs Dec. 4 on the road 97-90, but lost Dec 8 in Memphis 96-104.

Let’s take a look at what to expect in this Southwest Divisional game.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks Jan. 14 prediction

The Grizzlies are going to face one of the most skilled players in the NBA when Dallas’ Luka Doncic returns to Memphis.

Doncic has virtually averaged a triple-double in the month of January, in which the Mavericks are 4-1. He’s got a stat line of 20.8 ppg, 10.4 apg, 9.8 rpg and 1.8 spg.

The Grizzlies hope their defense and incredible deep bench will help keep them fresh, coming off a back-to-back. Memphis has won three sets of back-to-back games during this eleven-game winning streak (Dec. 26 and 27, Jan. 3 and 4, Jan. 8 and 9).

Expect Ja Morant to have a bounce-back game against Dallas (16 points on 5 of 16 shooting from the field against Minnesota Jan. 13).

Memphis is more focused than any team in the NBA right now and there’s no reason to think the good times stop rolling against Dallas.

Jaren Jackson will have a big night without Porzingis and Bane will get lots of three-point looks from a penetrating Morant.

Prediction: Grizzlies 121, Mavericks 114
