It's a showdown between a couple of MVP candidates tonight as Ja Morant takes his Memphis Grizzlies on the road for a clash with Luka Doncic and his Dallas Mavericks. After coming close on my last 2 bets, I've once again prepared a Same-Game Parlay.
Tip-off is 8.30 pm ET on NBATV, as soon as the San Antonio Spurs vs Philadelphia 76ers game ends. Saturday's NBA Predictions cover all 9 games with spread and total picks, but let's not waste any more time and jump straight into it!
Memphis Grizzlies 1 – 10 Win Margin (+270)
Even though the Mavs won 3 of the 4 regular season meetings last year, the Grizzlies were able to split the series in Dallas winning the 1st duel of the season between the two teams. Ja Morant didn't play in that one, but it didn't matter as Desmond Bane led the charge with 29 points. Not only is Morant healthy and playing tonight, but he seems to already be in mid-season form after a 49-point explosion last night in Houston. His team is off to a perfect 2-0 start and you already have people making a case for Morant to take home MVP honors this season. The hype is real around this Memphis team and they have an opportunity to show the World that they mean business this time around if they can beat one of the elite defensive teams in the Western Conference. Dallas just wasted a 22-point lead at Phoenix on opening night, they are still adjusting to life without Jalen Brunson. I think Memphis has enough to come out on top in a close game.
