Please be aware that betting odds may change after the publication of this article.
Grizzlies -6
- With the talent on the roster, the Grizzlies should be able to outperform the shorthanded Mavericks.
- Memphis won the regular-season series against the Mavericks this season 3-1. Two of their final three games were separated by double digits, including a 35-point win over Dallas.
- Assuming the Grizzlies head into this matchup riding the momentum from their home fans, I like the odds that they can protect their home court with a win by more than six points.

Ja Morant OVER 27.5 Points +118
- Ja Morant has been playing on another level through April, averaging 30.2 points per game.
- In the two matchups against Dallas this season, the Grizzlies guard has finished with 31 points in each.
- Morant is the type of player who elevates his play in a big game. With a playoff spot and elimination on the line, I have faith that Morant will be aggressive in this matchup, hoping to will his team to a win.
Klay Thompson 4+ Threes +154
- Klay Thompson was red-hot in the Mavericks’ win over the Kings on Wednesday, finishing with five threes, shooting 72.7% from the field.
- The sharpshooter can get hot instantly; all it takes is one to fall.
- Thompson hasn’t performed the best against Memphis this season, and he’s the type of player who keeps receipts about how well he’s played against what teams. Assuming he wants to right his wrongs in this win-and-get-in situation, it wouldn’t be a shock to see a prime Thompson shooting night on display Friday.
