The Memphis Grizzlies look to make it eight straight wins against the Dallas Mavericks tonight.<\/p>\n

Mavericks vs Grizzlies prediction<\/p>\n

Mavericks vs Grizzlies best bet: Mavericks -5 (-110)<\/p>\n

The Dallas Mavericks<\/a> have lost five straight on this trip, with double-digit losses in four of them.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s part of a bigger skid, where they\u2019ve gone an NBA-worst 2-18 over the last 20 games, averaging just 109.8 points per game.<\/p>\n

But road-weary bodies still beat unhealthy ones, and the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a>, who\u2019ve also dropped five straight, will be without their leading scorer, rebounder, and assist man, as Santi Aldama, Scotty Pippen Jr., and Ja Morant are all sidelined.<\/p>\n

Plus, Cedric Coward, Walter Clayton Jr., and Ty Jerome are all doubtful.<\/p>\n

Dallas will avoid a four-game regular-season series sweep.<\/p>\n

Rookie Cooper Flagg<\/a> has scored just 12 points in each of the two games he\u2019s played against Memphis and has scored sub-20 points in four straight since returning from a foot injury.<\/p>\n

That hasn\u2019t affected his rebounding effort, though, as he\u2019s picked up at least eight boards in each of his last three games.<\/p>\n
