1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers experts consider Memphis to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, the visiting team will not have many chances of success. In general, it is worth agreeing with them. But they overestimate the Grizzlies' chances too much. Of course, Dallas has completely fallen apart without Doncic. But its opponent also has problems with its roster. The basketball players from Texas will definitely make every effort not to lose face.
Our prediction is a Dallas victory with a handicap of (+6.5) points including overtime at 1.81

Dallas has been showing good results this season. The average point total for the last ten games is 112. And this time, everything is going to be like this: the team from the Lone Star State will be able to significantly improve its statistics.

Bet on the player
Jackson played 66 games in the past regular season and averaged 22.5 points per game. This season, his rate is already the same - 22.3. The 25-year-old forward has definitely not lost his basic skills. The American basketball player will be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opponent's defense.
Our prediction is Jackson's total points over 22.5 points including overtime at 1.87
