The matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies is a difficult one; they have given up the 6th-least points per game in the NBA to opposing starting PGs this year (16.6).The Memphis Grizzlies have played at the 4th-most lethargic pace-of-play in the league over the last 5 games, which should reduce possessions for the Dallas Mavericks.The Dallas Mavericks check in as the 9th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA on their home court this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).This matchup may be a positive one for getting to the foul line; when the Grizzlies are playing at home, opposing clubs have attempted a monstrous 23.8 foul shots per game over the last 8 games (10th-most in the league).
