The Dallas Mavericks travel to Memphis to face the Grizzlies on the second of a back-to-back on Nov. 9. Here are the odds, how to watch, and more.

The Dallas Mavericks will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss against the Knicks on Saturday evening. They head out on the road to face the Memphis Grizzlies. It is the second of a back-to-back for both teams.

Mavs fans should expect the team to rest Kristaps Porzingis this evening. That is part of his load management plan as he continues making his way back from a torn ACL.

Here is everything fans need to know about tonight’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies.

Storyline to follow: Bouncing back

The Mavericks played poor defense on Friday. They allowed 106 points including letting the Knicks shot 50.0 percent on their 28 3-point attempts. New York was also plus nine in the rebounding battle. Luka Doncic had a monster triple-double, but the Mavericks ultimately fell to the Knicks.

The Mavs need to salvage a win in Memphis. They cannot afford to lose two straight to two projected lottery teams. Expect Luka to stay locked in as he tries to lead the Mavs to a difficult road victory.
