Grizzlies vs Mavericks Preview
The Memphis Grizzlies (2-0) seek a 3-0 start and the Dallas Mavericks (0-1) seek a first win when the two clash on Saturday night.
Dallas returns home for the first time since falling 107-105 at Phoenix on Wednesday in a big playoff rematch. The Mavericks ousted the Suns 123-90 in Game 7 last season. It didn’t work out that way in the opener as a 15-point Mavs lead evaporated.

“We relaxed a little bit,” Mavs star Luka Doncic said via ESPN’s Tim McMahon. “We think, not that the game was done, but we just relaxed. ‘It’s a lot of points, we’re going to get there, we’re going to win.’ Like I said, we just can’t relax. It’s happened a lot of times. We can’t be blowing leads. This is a thing we have to work on, and we will for sure.”
Dallas shot 46.7% from the field but 40% from three-point range. The Mavs notably took care of the ball with only 12 turnovers but got outrebounded on the offensive glass, 8-5.
Memphis allowed more than 110 points in both of its first two games against non-playoff caliber squads in Houston and New York. The Grizzlies didn’t create many turnovers with just 14 steals in those games combined.
Doncic led the Mavs with 35 points, and Christian Wood shined off the bench with 25 points. Spencer Dinwiddie and Reggie Bullock chipped in 15 and 10 points respectively.
All four will need big showings again offensively if the Mavs can’t hold down the Grizzlies’ shooters. Ja Morant has been tough to stop with 41.5 points per game in his first two contests. Desmond Bane, John Konchar, Tyus Jones, and Santi Aldama all average double figures, too.
“[Morant] can do everything,” Doncic said via Sports Illustrated’s Dallas Basketball. “Obviously, he’s one of the fastest guys out there. Since the first year, he improved a lot with his shooting, his playmaking. He’s a really complete player, and he’s going to be hard to stop.”
Morant comes in re-hot after scoring 49 points against the Rockets. Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins described it as Morant “just in attack mode throughout the game” via The Associated Press.
“They’re one of the fastest teams in the league,” Mavs head coach Jason Kidd said about the Grizzlies via Dallas Basketball. “All eyes will be on him and we got to figure out how to slow him down.”
