The Memphis Grizzlies will be away to the Dallas Mavericks for their next NBA regular season assignment. Dallas is sixth in the Western Conference and is 8.5 games above 13th-placed Memphis. The Mavericks are coming off an impressive 115-108 victory over conference leaders Minnesota that extended their winning run to three games. They are now four games from top spot after claiming their 22nd win of the season. Two of their total wins have come against Memphis and another win here will see them take the season series at 3-1. Dallas, who possess the seventh-ranked offence, will have Luka Doncic and Grant Williams probable for this match. Maxi Kleber, Dante Exum, and Derick Lively II will all be absent due to injury.

The Memphis Grizzlies have won their last two matches. But the excitement of this has been deflated by the confirmation that Ja Morant is out for the rest of the season. Morant, who missed Memphis’ last match, is set to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. The guard has played just nine games since his return from a 25-game suspension just three weeks ago. In the nine games that he played, Memphis won six times. Taylor Jenkins’ men, who defeated Phoenix 121-115 last time out, also have Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke ruled out for the season. The Grizzlies are 10 games below .500 and have suffered 19 of their 23 defeats to fellow Western Conference teams.
