Especially because the Mavs also have a very easy schedule on paper.
Remaining schedule:
Blazers:
@ Nets
@ Celtics
@ Hawks
@ Cavs
vs Lakers
vs Spurs
vs Rockets
@ Jazz
@ Suns
vs Nuggets
Two games against teams below 0.500
Grizzlies:
vs Magic
@ Magic
vs Knicks
@ T`Wolves
@ Pistons
@ Raptors
vs Pelicans
vs Mavs
vs Kings
vs Kings
@ Warriors
Three games against teams above 0.500. Two of them against direct opponents (Warriors, Mavs). Not a single one against a real contender.

Not sold on either team but if the Grizzlies can take advantage of the easiest SOS they could overtake the Mavs/Warriors in the direct matchups. Blazers have to surive a eastern road trip and play against all western conference teams in front of them except for the Clippers and Mavs.
