Dallas Mavericks at Memphis Grizzlies predictions

Luka Doncic is due for that breakout game that gets everybody talking, and he produces it on Friday night in Memphis. The 22-year-old superstar goes for 42 points and narrowly misses a triple-double as the Mavericks upset the Grizzlies.

Ja Morant goes off for 30, but Memphis wears down late on the second night of a back-to-back to open the door for a Mavs win. The contest goes under 214, and fans should be in for a treat.

The Dallas Mavericks need to win if they want to get back into the Southwest Division race. Expect Luka to will them over the line on Jan. 14 in the first night of a back-to-back set before traveling home to host the Magic.
