On Friday night, two middle class teams in the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks will face off before the Memphis Grizzlies try to take down the top seed in the Western Conference with a matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. It's a matchup of youth versus experience as the young Grizzlies look to make a statement against the reigning champions.

The Mavericks fight without key contributor Christian Wood who is dealing with a fractured left thumb. Dallas is still led by MVP candidate Luka Doncic, who is leading the league in scoring with 33.7 points per game. They will have a difficult challenge today with Jimmy Butler and the Heat looking to rebound after a string of close losses. Miami boasts a net rating of 11.1 and have now had their starting five of Butler, Kyle Lowry, Caleb Martin, Tyler Herro, and Bam Adebao back together again.

Meanwhile, the 11-game winning streak of the Memphis Grizzlies is fueled by the best defense in the league and the return of Desmond Bane. Jaren Jackson and Steven Adams make them a team to be reckoned with. Ja Morant, the highlight factory, will aim to light up LA as the Grizzlies aim to take the #1 seed in the West. The Lakers are facing injuries of their own and have seen results to match, with a string of heartbreaking losses.

It's a fight for the top of the Western Conference- can the young's upsets the veterans? Tune in on Friday night to find out.
