The Lakers have won 5 consecutive games and rank second in the Western Conference! The Mavericks suffered a 4-game losing streak and ranked last in the Western Conference

The Mavericks lost to the Grizzlies 104-118 on the road today, suffering a four-game losing streak. Their record became 2 wins and 7 losses, ranking last in the Western Conference. After the Grizzlies defeated the Mavericks, they ended their four-game losing streak, with a record of 4 wins and 6 losses, and their ranking is temporarily ranked 10th in the Western Conference.

For the Mavericks, ranking last in the Western Conference is indeed very bad, especially since they traded Doncic last season, and Doncic led the Lakers to second place in the Western Conference this season. If this continues, the Mavericks may have a chance to get another No. 1 pick. But the Lone Ranger's poor record is understandable, because Irving is still recovering from injuries, and Nongmei has also missed several consecutive games due to injuries. Without these two cores, the record will definitely not be better.

The performance of No. 1 pick Flagg was still tepid. In 27 minutes of playing time, he made 5 of 10 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, with a plus-minus value of -23. Christie was in good condition. He played 28 minutes and made 7 of 12 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers. He scored a team-high 18 points.

Washington was quite satisfactory. He started for 25 minutes, made 6 of 15 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, scored 14 points and 6 rebounds, and also had 2 turnovers. Marshall came off the bench for 25 minutes, making 6 of 13 shots and only 1 of 7 three-pointers. He scored 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Russell's performance was average. He only started for 16 minutes, shot 4 of 5, only scored 9 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and made 3 turnovers. Thompson felt cold and came off the bench for 17 minutes. He made 0 of 6 shots and 0 of 5 three-pointers. He did not score and only got 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal.

For the Grizzlies, Morant regained his form today. He played 32 minutes and made 7 of 20 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, and 3 steals. However, he also had 7 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a game-high plus-minus of +28. Morant has scored 20 points and 10 assists in a single game 46 times in his Grizzlies career, ranking first in team history. Conley, who ranks second, only has 21 games.

No. 11 pick Coward was very impressive against the No. 1 pick. He played 27 minutes as a substitute, shooting 7 of 10, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 21 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and made 0 turnovers in the game. Jackson Jr. was quite average. He played 29 minutes, made 6 of 9 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 17 points and 4 rebounds. Aldama came off the bench for 28 minutes, making 5 of 12 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 16 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists.
