Tonight is the night the Mavericks end their losing streak
The Mavericks have lost four in a row and the light is not getting any closer. Kyrie Irving will be out in addition to Luka Doncic tonight, but thankfully Naji Marshall is making his return. Despite the growing injury list, the Mavericks still feel like a team that can win a game against a Grizzlies team that is also missing key guys. Tonight is a prime opportunity to turn the skid around.
Game Details
Fixture: Dallas Mavericks at Memphis Grizzlies | NBA 2024-2025
Date and Time: Monday, January 6th, 2025; 7:00 PM CST
Venue: FedExForum, Memphis, TN.
Outcome Odds
- Spread: Dallas +5 (-112)
- O/U 231.5 (-110/-110)
- Mavs ML: +164
Odds up to date as of noon CST from DraftKings
Dallas is beat up but the Grizzlies are ravaged. Even without Dallas’ two top stars, they have a lot of talent. The Grizzlies are also without their best players (Ja Morant and most likely Desmond Bane), but the Mavericks’ guys feel more put together than the collection of young guys that Memphis has. Take Dallas +5 tonight and expect an outright win.
Player Props
- Jaren Jackson Jr. under 27.5 points (-105)
- Naji Marshall to get 12+ points (+135)
Jackson Jr. has a tough matchup against P.J. Washington. He only had 16 against Dallas in December and even with so many players out, he should not get 28 tonight. Marshall is back from suspension and will surely be playing with a vengeance. His offense will be needed tonight and I expect him to make an impact.
Play of the Day
- Mavericks to win (+164)
This is a perfect game for Dallas to win. My gut feeling tells me the Mavericks win handily, but to avoid a weird points situation, the outright win is a great bet.
