T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks.

I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks just lost in their previous game to the Pelicans after beating them in their game before that one and they lost at home by almost 20 points. I think that they are going to be angry over that loss to the Pelicans on their home court and I think they are going to bounce back in this game with a big win. The Mavericks have been a bit banged up but they should be getting Porzingis back for this game which will really help them on the defensive end but even if he doesn't play I still think that Doncic and his supporting cast are going to step up in this game and bring home the win here to make up for that bad loss on their home court the previous night. I also think that the Grizzlies are going to be a bit tired in this game from the other night and I don't think they are going to be able to replicate that performance that they put on. The Grizzlies just broke the NBA record for the largest margin of victory with a 73 point win over the Thunder in their previous game which basically just a junior varsity team that they were playing with all of the players out for the Thunder. I think the Grizzlies are going to have a much harder time scoring points in this game considering that they are still without their best scorer Ja Morant. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 117-101 Mavericks.
