Mavericks vs. Grizzlies prediction and odds for Monday, March 20 (Value on Mavs?)

The Dallas Mavericks are hoping to get Luka Doncic (questionable) back in the lineup on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Memphis has won back-to-back games, but it is still without Ja Morant in this game. Still, the Mavericks have a loaded injury report on Monday:

Mavs Injury Report vs. Grizzlies:
Luka Doncic – questionable (left thigh strain)
Kyrie Irving – questionable (right foot soreness)
Markieff Morris – questionable (left knee soreness)
Tim Hardaway Jr. – questionable (non-Covid illness)

Kyrie Irving played in the Mavs’ last game, and the team could have some value if it ends up getting Doncic, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Irving to all suit up in this game.

Memphis is 29-5 at home this season, but does it cover in this spot?

Mavericks vs. Grizzlies prediction and pick

I’m going to take a shot on Dallas covering in this game with Doncic potentially returning.

The Mavs are solid as road dogs this season, going 10-9 against the spread, and I think they can cover against a Grizzlies team that is down several rotation players.

Memphis won’t have Morant, Brandon Clarke, Steven Adams in this game and Jaren Jackson Jr. is listed as questionable.

The Grizzlies only beat Dallas by four at home earlier this month with both Doncic and Irving out, so I’m going to try to get ahead of the line movement in case they are ruled in.
