The Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies will meet in the FedEx Forum on Sunday afternoon for the 82nd and final game of the regular season, but both teams pretty much know where they're going. Dallas is locked into the 9/10 game in the Play-In Tournament against the Sacramento Kings, while Memphis is locked into the 7/8 game, though their opponent is unknown as of yet.

With little to play for, both teams have LENGTHY injury reports as they don't want to risk an injury happening to key players.
