Memphis will definitely be in the playoffs and the Mavericks should as long as they don’t go on a big slide after the all-star break. Part of the problem has been the recent struggles of Rajon Rondo at PG.

Tyson Chandler is DTD on the injury report, but he’ll likely be in the line-up for the Mavs. Tony Allen and Mike Conley are both DTD for the Grizzlies. It’s still unknown at this time as to whether Conley will play.

Memphis just played last night and beat the Magic (103-94). Conley only played 22 minutes and couldn’t get much going, but Beno Udrih stepped up with 15 points, 5 assists, 4 steals and 2 rebounds.

If Conley doesn’t play Udrih will likely have a tough time against Rondo on offense, but Rondo isn’t a huge threat offensively as of late, so losing Conley’s defense while big isn’t going to kill the Grizzlies chances.

These two teams have played twice this season and have split the series (1-1). Both of those games were in Memphis. This game will be decided by the Grizzlies defense and Mavericks offense.

Dallas has one of the best offenses in the NBA, as they score 107.8 PPG (2nd) compared to the Grizzlies who score 101.5 PPG (14th). However, Memphis only allows teams to average 97.4 PPG (6th).

The Mavs have struggled stopping teams all season and they’re giving up 101.8 PPG (23rd). Chandler was supposed to shore up the defensive problems on this team, but so far that hasn’t really happened.

Jeff Green is now starting for the Grizzlies, which I feel is a great idea for them. Green has not only been scoring for Memphis, but he plays great defense. Green has been an incredible addition for Memphis.

It’s hard betting against Rondo, Ellis and Parsons, but if Conley starts I’ll be on Memphis ATS. They have the guard and wing play to limit the Mavs outside shooters and I expect Memphis to dominate the paint.

Randolph is going to have a field day against Nowitzki on the offensive end. Nowitzki doesn’t play defense anymore and Randolph has been great since returning from injury. He’s a double-double machine.

Free NBA Picks: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Dallas Mavericks

Dallas is 14-7 at home, which is great, but far from perfect. Memphis is a respectable 13-7 on the road this season. This will be a close game and with the Grizzlies defense I can’t see them losing by much if they do.

4* Play: Memphis Grizzlies +4.5 (-110)

I actually like Memphis SU and will be throwing a bit on their ML. Gasol and Randolph are going to put up big numbers. The only concern that I have is that this is a B2B for Memphis, which is always tough.
