After a pair of losses to the Memphis Grizzlies last week, can the Dallas Mavericks turn things around against their Western Conference rivals? Check out our Mavericks-Grizzlies picks based on the top NBA odds.

Following a brutal week filled with injuries and losses, the Mavericks are getting back on track. With Kyrie Irving back in action, the team has won two straight. Luka Doncic missed both matchups with the Grizzlies last week, and Dillon Brooks had some strong words for him.

Doncic has been ruled out for Monday's game. The Grizzlies have won five of their last six, and the team hasn’t missed a beat despite missing Ja Morant.

Who will prevail in this epic clash of Western Conference contenders?

Here is our best Mavericks vs. Grizzlies NBA pick (odds via Caesars; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Mavericks vs. Grizzlies pick

Mavericks ML (+118 via Caesars) ⭐⭐⭐

Memphis has been rolling as of late, and it's been doing it without its best player. The team has one of the best home-court advantages in the NBA, but the Mavericks will steal a rare win at FedEx Forum on Monday.

The Grizzlies have won five of six, but let’s take a look at the quality of those wins. Two came against the Golden State Warriors (arguably the worst road team in the Association), two came against the shorthanded Mavericks, and one came against arguably the worst team in the NBA in the San Antonio Spurs.

Dallas is the healthiest it's been in quite some time, with Irving, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Maxi Kleber available after dealing with injuries for weeks. With Dallas near full strength, the Grizzlies’ hot streak will come to an end as it finally faces a challenge. We’re taking the Mavericks’ moneyline here.
