Dallas Mavericks Form
Dallas secured their place in the Play-In tournament by finishing ninth in the Western Conference with a 39-43 record.
The Mavericks closed out the regular season on a poor run of form, losing four of the final five games on their schedule.
This sequence started with back-to-back road defeats to the LA Clippers, 114-91 and 135-104, and they then fell 112-197 at home to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Dallas rallied to beat Toronto 124-102 in their final regular season home game, only to quickly return to losing ways as they fell 132-97 in Memphis.
The Mavericks bounced back in the first round of the Play-In though, as they downed Sacramento 120-106.
Memphis Grizzlies Form
Memphis get another shot at making the playoffs after finishing eighth in the Western Conference with a 48-34 record.
The Grizzlies blew hot and cold over the final few weeks of the regular season, ending March on a run of three straight defeats, before starting April with a 134-125 loss to Golden State.
They rebounded on the road by beating Miami 110-108, Detroit 109-103 and Charlotte 124-100, only to then lose 141-125 at home to Minnesota and 117-109 in Denver.
Memphis wrapped up the regular season with a 132-97 demolition of Dallas, but they failed to make it back-to-back wins in the first round of the Play-In.
The Grizzlies visited the Bay Area to take on Golden State, and suffered a 121-116 defeat at the hands of the Warriors.
Verdict
Memphis get one more shot at making the postseason and we are backing them to get the job done.
We simply cannot ignore their recent record against the Mavericks, including three straight regular season wins in 2025.
