Season Profile Comparison: Memphis Grizzlies vs Dallas Mavericks
This is a season snapshot, organized into four categories so you can see the main levers quickly. In close matchups, the deciding swing often shows up where one team wins both of the key stats in a section.
Record & Scoring
When win percentage and margin agree, it’s typically a reliable read—and here they both lean to Dallas Mavericks (39, -5.5). For Memphis Grizzlies, the path is turning the game into runs instead of steady quarters, since steady quarters usually favor the better margin team.

|---|---|---|
| Record (W-L) | 25-57 | 26-56 |
| Win Percentage | 27.5 | 39 |
| Points For | 114.7 | 114.1 |
| Points Against | 120.7 | 119.6 |
| Points Margin | -6 | -5.5 |
Efficiency
Memphis Grizzlies leads in shooting efficiency (111.6) and field goal efficiency (53.3), a combination that usually travels well. If the pace rises, that advantage can matter even more because efficient possessions convert before the game gets chaotic.
| Metric | Memphis Grizzlies | Dallas Mavericks |
|---|---|---|
| Field Goal % | 0.7 | 0.7 |
| Three-Point % | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Shooting Efficiency | 111.6 | 107.3 |

Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers
Dallas Mavericks owns the better net rating (-5.4) and the cleaner turnover profile (14), which is a strong “structure” advantage. If Memphis Grizzlies can’t create extra possessions through pressure, the rating edge is more likely to hold.
| Metric | Memphis Grizzlies | Dallas Mavericks |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | 104.1 | 104.2 |
| Net Rating | -6.1 | -5.4 |
| Offensive Rating | 109.7 | 108.5 |
| Defensive Rating | 115.8 | 113.9 |
| Turnovers Per Game | 14.6 | 14 |
Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption
Offensive rebounds and steals don’t separate the teams much (0.2 vs 0.2, 8.8 vs 7.5), so the best edge is often effort consistency. If one side wins the 50/50 plays for a single quarter, it can flip the possession count enough to matter.
| Metric | Memphis Grizzlies | Dallas Mavericks |
|---|---|---|
| Rebounds Per Game | 42.1 | 44.7 |
| Offensive Rebounds | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Defensive Rebounds | 0.7 | 0.7 |

- Game script (pace): The style leans toward Dallas Mavericks trying to press the game, with Memphis Grizzlies looking to steady it and cut down on fast decisions. That initial pace split often follows the total.
- Efficiency edge (side): The longer view tilts toward Dallas Mavericks if it can keep the game tidier and finish defensive possessions. Creating added opportunities can turn the side call.
- Late filters (availability + market): Start with the last availability check, because rotation changes can shift both the side and total read at the finish. If the market shifts, use that as a cue to re-check news rather than pushing the angle.
