Memphis and Dallas both have a “play-in” match in the legs, but the course was very different. On the one hand, the Grizzlies fell for the end of the match against the Warriors, despite the 30 points of Desmond Bane. Worse still, Ja more Wounded in the ankle at the end of the game. And if the leader has promised to be in clothes this Friday, he is likely to be reduced …
On the other side, the Mavericks went against the Kings without forcing behind the 27 points ofAnthony Davis and the 23 units of Klay Thompson at 8/11 shooting.

The coach : Tuomas Iisalo
The strong point
Rear lines . Ja more promised it : He will be present to play this capital match. With the leader on the starting line, Memphis has a major advantage in this sector, where Dallas had chosen to play without any jobs 1 by profession during his first “play-in” match. Memphis will therefore be able to count on the liveliness of his exteriors to make his way to the Circle of Mavs. However, the 3-point address has the interest of being there because access to the basket may be blocked by Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively. If Desmond Bane and Ja MORANT evolve at the same level as during the match against the Warriors, Memphis could win the battle of exteriors and give himself serious chances of going to Playoffs.
The weak point
The physical duel. First, JA Morant's state of health will necessarily be a brake, if it is not 100%delivered. Then, the two tours of control of the Grizzlies namely Years Jackson JR et ZACH Edey were expected against the Warriors. If the Canadian did not go too bad with 14 points and 17 rebounds, for “JJJ” it was more complicated. Many times jostled, he could not weigh on the meeting. Against Dallas, a major challenge stands in front of him with the Texas interiors' armada led by Anthony Davis. The MAVs managed to lock Domantas Sabonis, and if they manage to contain Jaren Jackson Jr, the chances of victory of Memphis will immediately decrease.

The strong point
An armada inside. If Dallas' rear lines are decimated, inside, it remains rather provided with Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford. These three dominated Domantas Sabonis and Jonas Valancunas and intend to do the same in front of the duo Jaren Jackson Jr-Zach Edey. Be careful all the same, the interiors of Memphis are much more solid than those of Sacramento and the duels in the racket could well make sparks. Anyway, the team that will have the most dominant interiors on this match will take a serious option on the qualification in Playoffs.
The weak point
A duo of leaders who must confirm. Against the Kings, Jason Kidd aligned a large major five, but he was also able to count on a pretty duo Dante Exum – Brandon Williams at the end of the bench. Author of 28 points for two, they dominated Kings devoid of the back lines since the departure of De'Aaron Fox and the injury of Malik Monk. Faced with JA MORANT, DESMOND BANE or Scottie Pippen Jrthe challenge will be much more taken up and it will be necessary to hold the shock again so that Dallas still manages to get out of it.
The key to the match
Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson And the “play-in” is a complicated story. A year ago, he released his worst career match with 0 point at 0/10 in shooting. This Wednesday, faced with these same Kings, he corrected the sights with 23 units at 8/11. These two performances raise a question: what face of Klay Thompson will we have this Friday evening? Grizzlies do not have a player capable of containing the old warrior for 48 minutes. If he gets rhythm, Ja more and his band can spend a very long evening.

VERDICT
Mavericks. Several concerns reign on the side of Memphis. To start the state of health of JA MORANT which should not be 100%delivered. A serious handicap for the leader who counts on his explosiveness to win. Second point, Jaren Jackson Jr. failed to dominate the very light racket of the Warriors. The physical challenge will be even more important against the trio of interiors from Dallas and the grizzly greeks could suffer from it. Another point, after complicated weeks, the MAVs surf on a more interesting dynamic and could take the opportunity to snatch a place in playoffs. And thus go and challenge the Thunder in the first round of the playoffs?
