Mavs Look To Build On Two-Game Streak
The Dallas Mavericks play host to the Memphis Grizzlies at American Airlines Center on Wednesday evening.

The Mavericks (31-19) have won six of their last 10 games, including their last two in a row. They look to keep building at home, as they won their last home contest and look to add to their 14-12 home record. Luka Doncic (ankle) has missed the last three games and will remain sidelined through Wednesday's action, but the Mavs have managed to go 2-1 without him. Kristaps Porzingis came up huge, with 38 points and 12 rebounds, in the Mavs' most recent contest, and he is averaging 17.8 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. Jalen Brunson has done a good job stepping up at times for Dallas, and he is averaging 10.7 points on 48.8 percent shooting, including 50 percent from long range, over the last 10 games. Dorian Finney-Smith continues to contribute, averaging 10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists, over the last 10 games. The Mavericks average 116.3 points per game, which is third most in the league.

Meanwhile, this marks the first game of a three-game road trip for the Grizzlies (25-25), who are 2-2 in their last four road games and look to build on their 10-12 road record. Ja Morant continues to impress, as he is averaging 15.9 points on 52.5 percent shooting, 7.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals, over the last 10 games. Dillon Brooks is averaging 21.0 points on 47.2 percent shooting, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists, over the last 10 games. Jonas Valanciunas (knee) is questionable for action on Monday. The Grizzlies average 113.1 points per game, and they lead the league with an average of 27. 6 assists per game. They are shooting 47.4 percent from the field, which is fourth best in the league.
