Two of the hottest teams in the NBA meet Sunday as the visiting Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks wrap up their season series.

Dallas has won two of the first three meetings against Memphis this season, including a 112-85 victory on Jan. 14. Mavericks star Luka Doncic had 27 points as the Mavericks ended the Grizzlies’ 11-game winning streak.
Doncic is averaging 25.2 points for Dallas, which had their four-game winning streak come to an end with Thursday’s 109-101 loss to the Phoenix Suns.
Doncic scored 28 points in the loss but was limited to eight minutes in the fourth quarter after hurting his neck on a hard fall near the basket. He said he expects to play on Sunday.
