The ESPN double-header on Friday night feature a couple game that are stuffed with teams desperate for wins.
The first is between the Dallas Mavericks at home against the Miami Heat, both teams which need a win to create some separation in the standings. Both Dallas and Miami are two-games-or-less from falling into the play-in tournament.
After that, the Los Angeles Lakers will host the streaking Memphis Grizzlies. The Lakers are sitting all the way down in the 13th seed in the West and desperately need wins to get themselves back in the hunt for the postseason while the Grizzlies want to make their 11-game winning streak into a 12-gamer.
