🧠 ClutchBuzz Final Mavericks vs. Grizzlies Prediction
The Grizzlies may be favored, but this is a spot where the Mavericks’ size and experience give them a real shot. Even if Morant plays, he’ll be limited — and without him, Memphis has struggled to close games. Davis vs. Jackson is the matchup to watch, and it leans clearly in AD’s favor.
Expect the Mavs to keep it close — and possibly steal one on the road if the Grizzlies continue to struggle in crunch time.
Final Score Prediction: Mavericks 109, Grizzlies 108
Best Bet: Mavericks +6.5
Total Prediction: Over 221.5
