Dallas Mavericks vs. Memphis Grizzlies: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

The Dallas Mavericks visit the Memphis Grizzlies in the final game of the 2025 Play-In Tournament with the Western Conference's No. 8 seed and a first-round playoff meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder on the line.

Memphis won the season series 3-1, and the most recent game between the sides ended in a 132-97 blowout win for the Grizzlies just a few days ago, although neither team played their starters as the teams already clinched their Play-In spots.

This game features two of the most talked-about teams from the latter stages of the 2024/25 season, as the Mavs infamously traded Luka Doncic in early February and the Grizzlies fired head coach Taylor Jenkins in late March.
