Mavericks vs Grizzlies NBA Preview, Predictions
I will continue fading the Mavericks' offense until the bleeding stops.
Anthony Davis was upgraded to doubtful, but that typically does not indicate he’s ready to play.
When he goes to questionable, you can adjust for that. If he plays, this number still isn’t dead.
Dallas is 29th in halfcourt offense.
Memphis is 25th in halfcourt defense, but the Pelicans are 27th and Dallas still couldn’t score against them.
These two teams are top-10 in pace.
So, if they have bad defensive nights, the pace of the game may get push this number over the number on its own.
However, I only project these two teams for 52.6 transition points combined, leaving 175 points of halfcourt offense they have to generate in an average 187 possessions, meaning they need a 93.5 offensive rating in the halfcourt on average.
They are averaging below that defensively.
This is a Cup Game, and Cup Games are better over spots, But I still want to fade both teams’ offense here.
