Mavs - Grizzlies preview
1st game of rough 5 games in a week stretch, not in a good time for injury riddled Mavericks.
3 of those 5 are against contenders (Lakers, Wolves, Nuggets)...so even more important to take care of business vs similar or even more depleted Memphis.
Dallas failed to do so last time (in Game 18 vs MEM) which was one of more disappointing Ls.
Mavs were without Luka, THJ, Maxi and Exum then, this time without Kyrie, Grant, Green, Maxi. Grizzlies missing Ja, Smart, Adams, Clarke, Kennard.
Interestingly MEM is only 1-9 at home
For Grizzlies things mostly stayed the same since last game in terms of rotation & play style
They still start: Rose, Bane, Roddy, JJJ and Biyombo
And play big mostly (with Biyombo or Aldama next to JJJ) and defend well, but are very limited offensively.
