Memphis looks for first playoff victory
The Memphis Grizzlies will be seeking their first-ever playoff victory on Sunday night when they play the Dallas Mavericks in Game 1 of their opening-round series.
Dallas set a franchise record by going 60-22 this past season despite having a number of injuries. The Grizzlies put up a respectable 49-33 mark, and locked down the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference.
Oddsmakers set Dallas as 6.5-point home favorites on the opening line for this game, while the opening total was set at 179 points.
MVP candidate Dirk Nowitzki and home-court advantage are on Dallas' side in this series, and the Mavericks have really improved their defense this season as they gun for a title.
Pau Gasol became the Grizzlies' first All-Star this year, and he'll be trying to lead Memphis to a first-round upset. Strong rebounding is one advantage the Grizzlies have in this series.
