The Memphis Grizzlies smoked Houston last night and will remain in Texas to play the Dallas Mavericks on Friday (October 22).
The Grizzlies are now 2-0 on the season. They defeated the Nicks in overtime in their home opener and gave the work to the Rockets yesterday. Ja Morant has opened the season with a ridiculous 82 points - a franchise record. Morant seems to have made an even greater progression this offseason, and he's going to be an absolute force this season.
The Mavericks, meanwhile, are still looking for their first win on the season after blowing a huge lead in Phoneix to be edged out 109-107. Playing in front of the home fans for the first time tonight should give them a nice kick.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks Best Picks
Ja Morant is on a tear, and whenever a player is hot like that, it's best to just jump on board and ride it till the wheels fall off. Eventually, his prop will become too high to be advisable, but being under 30, it's a play bettors don't want to miss out on.
Ja Morant Over 29.5 Points (-105)
The over/under on this one sits at 219. In all three games the two teams have played, they have been very close to that total. The under hits more often than over in the NBA, but the under is 4-0 in the last four meetings between the two teams. The Grizzlies' total should be lower, coming off two high-scoring games.
Under 219.5 (-110)

Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks Predcition
Playing on back to back nights is tough, and Dallas has the advantage of being rested and at home.
The Grizzlies are better than the Mavericks, but these are two important data points. Six is far too large of a spread for this game. It's a coinflip of a result, but bettors can expect a close game, so grab the points for an easy play.
Memphis +6 (-110)
