Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks: Current situation
Losing in the final play-in tournament game would be a devastating blow for the Memphis Grizzlies who had big ambitions coming into this year. The season has not turned out the way they hoped it would, but they still made a massive leap compared to last year when they were near the bottom of the Conference. Even though winning Friday’s game would likely result in a short series and exit vs the OKC Thunder, making the postseason would be a solid foundation for next season.
The Dallas Mavericks have nothing to lose on Friday. Not a lot of people saw them even winning against the Sacramento Kings in the 9 vs 10 game and the same could be said about the game against Memphis. Major changes are expected over the summer for this team, they finished the year with 9 less wins than their opponent.
Memphis Grizzlies Stats & Form
The Grizzlies did their best in their first play-in game, but the Golden State Warriors led by Jimmy Butler and Steph Curry were just too much to handle. Desmond Bane showed up in a big way with 30 points, while Ja Morant added 22, but as a team the Grizzlies couldn’t capitalize on the Warriors’ weaknesses in the 5 point loss. The good thing is they can now make amends in the game against Dallas.
Dallas Mavericks Stats & Form
Anthony Davis showed why exactly he was involved in the Luka Doncic trade as he led the Mavs to a 120-106 win at Sacramento on Wednesday. Klay Thompson also turned back the clock with 23 points, including 5 threes made as the Mavs pulled off the upset. With their season on the line in the 2nd consecutive game, it’ll be interesting to see how Dallas handles the pressure here.
Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks: Head-to-Head

They’ve now won 2 of the previous 3 regular season series, which puts them in the driver’s seat ahead of Friday’s play-in game. Dallas does lead the all-time regular season series win total 76 to 40 win wins.

Betting tip and prediction: Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks (18.04.2025)
There will be contrasting moods on these two rosters as they head into Friday’s game. Memphis got beat by the Warriors, while the Mavs won their game by double-digits. More importantly though, the Grizzlies suffered a major injury in their loss as Ja Morant twisted his ankle in the 2nd half. He did return to the game, but he was evidently bothered by the injury which could cause him to not be at 100% in time for this game. That could prove to be crucial against a hungry Mavericks team that is playing without any pressure whatsoever in this game. Anthony Davis has thrived in these situations before, especially against opposing big men who challenge him. Jaren Jackson Jr. is in the discussion for defensive player of the year once again, AD will take it upon himself to do well in this match-up. The big question for Dallas here is can Klay Thompson repeat that performance he had on Wednesday against the Kings. The aging star hasn’t been as consistent in previous years and with Kyrie Irving being out with an injury, he needs to step up his game in order to provide the necessary help for Davis here. A big concern if you’re a Memphis fan is their performance on the defensive end, especially when it comes to paint protection. Opponents have averaged 58.7 points per game inside that area in their last 3 games, that’s music to the ears of Anthony Davis who loves to dominate down low. We expect a close game here, which should favor the road underdog Mavericks. Back Dallas to cover.
