Dallas Mavericks won
Memphis Grizzlies faces Dallas Mavericks in NBA Las Vegas Summer League action on July 13, with bookmakers firmly backing Memphis at 74.9% implied probability. The Grizzlies enter on a 1-win record in Summer League play after edging the Chicago Bulls 97-96, while Dallas has dropped both of its Summer League outings — falling to Golden State 90-101 and then to the Lakers 70-91.
The rest differential is a meaningful factor here. Memphis carries a medium fatigue risk with 2 rest days since their last game, while Dallas logs just 1 rest day (approximately 45 hours) after playing on July 12. That compressed turnaround for the Mavericks — combined with two games already in the last five days — raises legitimate concerns about energy and execution, particularly in the second half.
Dallas sits 14 places below Memphis in the Summer League standings and has a goal difference of -32 across two games, suggesting they have been outclassed rather than simply unlucky. Their scoring output of 70 points against the Lakers is a red flag. Memphis, meanwhile, showed resilience in a one-point win over Chicago, demonstrating competitive toughness even if the margin was slim.
With B. Hausen and both J. Porter entries listed as questionable for Memphis, there is some roster uncertainty, but the Mavericks' K. Akobundo-Ehiogu is also questionable. Given the rest edge, standings gap, and bookmaker consensus, Memphis is the clear lean. Take Memphis to cover the spread and look for a total in the low-to-mid 170s given Dallas's recent scoring struggles.

Head-to-head data from the last two years shows only one meeting within the relevant window: a March 2026 regular-season game where Dallas won 120-112 on Memphis's floor. That result is the sole recent reference point between these franchises. However, this Summer League contest features entirely different rosters of young prospects and two-way players, making that regular-season result largely irrelevant as a predictive tool. No Summer League head-to-head data is available between these specific squads.

Memphis enters this game with a 1-0 Summer League record after a narrow 97-96 win over the Chicago Bulls on July 11. Their Salt Lake City Summer League results were mixed — a strong 111-74 blowout of Oklahoma City Thunder offset by losses to Atlanta and Utah — but the Las Vegas showing demonstrated composure in a tight game. With 2 rest days since their last contest, fatigue risk is rated medium. B. Hausen and J. Porter (both listed) carry questionable designations, which adds some lineup uncertainty, but the overall roster depth appears sufficient to manage.

Dallas has been the Summer League's most struggling side, sitting 28th in the standings with 0 wins from 2 games and a -32 point differential. Their 70-91 loss to the Lakers on July 12 was particularly concerning — a 21-point defeat that exposed defensive and offensive limitations. With only approximately 45 hours of rest before this game and two contests already played in five days, fatigue risk is rated high. K. Akobundo-Ehiogu is listed as questionable. The Mavericks' young roster has yet to find cohesion, and the compressed schedule compounds that challenge significantly.

Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks - Match Analysis
Dallas has only approximately 45 hours of rest after playing on July 12, compared to Memphis's 2 full rest days. In Summer League, where rosters are filled with young players and two-way contracts rather than seasoned veterans, fatigue can be even more pronounced — conditioning levels vary widely. The Mavericks have also played two games in five days, and their most recent performance (70 points against the Lakers) suggests they are already running low on energy and cohesion. This rest gap is the single biggest structural edge for Memphis.
Yes, Memphis covering is the primary recommendation. The Grizzlies hold a 14-place standings advantage, have more rest, and face a Dallas team that has been outscored by 32 total points across two Summer League games. Bookmakers price Memphis at 74.9% to win outright, meaning the spread should offer value if set at a reasonable number. Dallas's 70-point output against the Lakers is a significant red flag, and their compressed schedule adds further risk of a flat performance. Memphis covering at medium-to-high confidence is the top pick.
The lean is toward the Under. Dallas has scored just 70 and 90 points in their two Summer League games, averaging well below typical Summer League pace. Their fatigue situation heading into this contest is unlikely to unlock a sudden offensive explosion. Memphis scored 97 in their last game but faced a similarly limited Chicago squad. If the total is set near 165-170, the Under carries real value given Dallas's offensive struggles and the compressed schedule reducing their ability to push pace effectively.
