What you need to know about the Grizzlies
Winning is just a little bit easier when you nail nine more 3-pointers than your opponent, a fact the Grizzlies proved on Sunday. They managed a 121-115 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead the Grizzlies to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jaren Jackson Jr., who dropped a double-double on 28 points and 10 rebounds.
Ja Morant (shoulder) did not play in that game and has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Memphis is 6-3 straight up and 5-4 against the spread with Morant this season, compared to 7-20 SU and 10-17 ATS without him. He’s part of a lengthy injury report for Memphis as Derrick Rose (hamstring) is also out, while Santi Aldama (knee) is doubtful and Jackson (knee) is questionable. While Memphis is just 4-12 ATS at home this season, it is a respectable 11-9 against the spread on the road in 2023-24. See which team to pick here.
What you need to know about the Mavericks
Meanwhile, the Mavericks waltzed into their match Sunday with two straight wins but they left with three. They came out on top against the Minnesota Timberwolves by a score of 115-108. The Mavs can attribute much of their success to Luka Doncic, who scored 34 points to go along with eight assists and six rebounds, and Kyrie Irving, who went 6 for 8 from beyond the arc en route to 35 points and five assists.
Dallas is 12-7 when both Doncic and Irving are in the starting lineup, compared to 10-8 when one or both sit. While both are set to suit up on Tuesday, Dallas will be without Dereck Lively II (ankle), Dante Exum (foot) and Maxi Kleber (toe). That likely means the ball will just be in Doncic’s and Irving’s hands even more, which is a good thing, as the Mavs are extremely efficient on offense, averaging the fewest turnovers per game and the second-most 3-pointers made per game.
