The Dallas Mavericks have endured one of the most difficult stretches for any franchise in recent memory.

Our Grizzlies vs. Mavericks prediction and player props expect a couple of the visiting stars to crash the glass to help Memphis end their losing streak. Our best sports betting sites list the Grizzlies as 9.5-point road favorites.

Tipoff from American Airlines Arena in Dallas is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN) tonight.

🔢 Grizzlies vs. Mavericks odds & betting lines

Here are the latest Grizzlies vs. Mavericks odds and betting lines from our best live betting sites.

🎯 Grizzlies vs. Mavericks score prediction: Grizzlies 126, Mavericks 101

Dallas’ rotation is running on fumes at this point, and the team will have a tremendously difficult time scoring or stopping opponents from doing so. With Luka gone and Davis and Irving out, the team’s top scorer is Thompson, but he’s a catch-and-shoot option more than ever at this point in his career. The team is particularly shallow in the frontcourt, with its top four options sidelined.

The Grizzlies will be without Jaren Jackson Jr. but otherwise healthy. Memphis has dropped five in a row, and the team should play this one with a clear level of desperation. This is a phenomenal spot for Memphis to get back in the win column, and I fully expect another blowout.

I predict the Grizzlies will beat the Mavericks by a final score of 126-101.

Best bet: Grizzlies -11 (-105 via Caesars)

💰 Best Grizzlies vs. Mavericks player prop bet odds & expert picks: March 7

Here are my best Grizzlies vs. Mavericks player prop bet odds and expert picks for tonight's NBA matchup. You can also check out our NBA player prop odds tool for the latest NBA odds at the best legal sportsbooks in your region.    

🏀 Best Zach Edey prop pick: Over 9.5 rebounds ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +110 via FanDuel ($10 to win $11)

This isn’t a number that Edey’s hit too often this season, so the plus-money odds are understandable. He’s got an elite matchup tonight, so I’m willing to take the Over in this one. On the season, Edey has averaged 7.2 rebounds at home and 8.3 on the road. He’s pulled down at least 10 in 12 games, including seven away from FedExForum.

Edey averaged 7.6 boards before the All-Star break, but that average has risen to 8.5 after the break. The Mavs have allowed the seventh-most rebounds this season at 45.3, including the second-most offensive boards at 12.3.

Edey is averaging a healthy 3.3 offensive boards and, at 7’4, 305 pounds, there is no one left in Dallas’ frontcourt rotation who can contend with him.

📊 Best Zach Edey prop bet odds

🏀 Best Klay Thompson prop pick: Over 3.5 made 3-pointers ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -130 via DraftKings ($10 to win $7.69)

With Dallas’ top scorers either traded or sidelined, the Mavs will need to lean heavily on Thompson as a scorer tonight. He went off for 28 in his last game out and should have no problem getting at least 20 again.

On the season, the Grizzlies have allowed the eighth-most 3-pointers at 13.8. Over the last eight, that number has risen to 14.4. 

On the season, Klay has hit at least four treys in 23 games, including 14 at home. He’s set up nicely in a favorable matchup in front of the home crowd.

📊 Best Klay Thompson prop bet odds

🏀 Best Ja Morant prop pick: Over 25.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: -110 via DraftKings ($10 to win $9.09)

Morant is averaging just 20.9 points per game this season, but he’s in a great position to score at will tonight.

Morant has hit the Over on this line just 10 times this season, but he’s averaged 24.4 points across his last five. In that span, he’s scored at least 24 points three times.

One of Morant’s 26+ point efforts this season came against Dallas when he dropped 31 in his first matchup with the Mavs. Over the last three, Dallas is dead last in defensive rating at 129.9, so Morant shouldn’t get much resistance here.

🚑 Grizzlies vs. Mavericks injuries

Here are the latest injuries for tonight's Grizzlies vs. Mavericks matchup, which will update in real time.

The Mavericks' woes continue as Kyrie Irving's season-ending injury continues to loom large. He's one of many Dallas players on an injury list that also includes Anthony Davis. The superstar duo - as well as many other Mavericks role players - will miss out on tonight's tilt against the Grizzlies.

For Memphis, former NBA Defensive Player of the Year odds favorite Jaren Jackson Jr. is the biggest name missing from tonight's matchup against the Mavs. His absence will be felt as the Grizzlies try to right the ship amid this losing skid.
