The Memphis Grizzlies are set to welcome the Dallas Mavericks in a 2025 NBA Cup regular season fixture on Friday, November 7. Currently in the 13th spot of the standings, the Grizzlies will head into the game on the back of a four-game losing streak. In their most recent game, they suffered a 124-109 loss to the Houston Rockets. In the upcoming game, they would want to turn around their previous results and improve their 3-6 tally.

The Dallas Mavericks, on the other hand, suffered their sixth loss of the season as they locked horns with the New Orleans Pelicans on 101-99. Currently seeded last in the West, the Mavericks had high hopes in the beginning of the season. They saw the return of their big man Anthony Davis and selected the first overall pick, Cooper Flagg during the 2025 NBA Draft. However, contrary to their expectations, the Mavericks are having a season of their nightmares.

Both teams are aiming to improve their win-loss record which would push them above on the points table. That said, let’s see how injury reports and predicted starting lineups look like for both teams ahead of their clash on Friday.
