Dallas Mavericks will face Luka Doncic for the first time since he was traded to the LA Lakers on Tuesday night. The franchise from Texas will visit the Lakers, with Luka leading the opposite team.
Dallas Mavericks News
Mavs have problems with injured players, as three of their centers probably won’t play and one more (Dwight Powell) is questionable. Can they overcome this? We aren’t so sure. The Mavs lost to the Golden State Warriors in the Bay Area 126-102.
Anthony Davis is out, which is a great blow for Dallas’ playoff ambitions because he should be the pylon on both ends of the floor. Kyrie Irving must try to cover up all the absences and lead Jason Kidd’s team to a win.
LA Lakers News
The Lakers are winning games lately. They are 8-2 at the moment and occupy the No.4 seed in the West, two games away from the Memphis Grizzlies. Beating the Denver Nuggets in Colorado, 123-100, was a great thing for the morale and even better for Luka’s confidence.
Doncic scored 32 points and was the top scorer for the Lakers, who had two more players score 20 or more points—James, 25, Austin Reaves, 23, and Rui Hachimura, 21. Also, even though he posted a triple-double, Jokic’s impact on the game was very limited.
Dallas Mavericks vs. LA Lakers Head to Head
The Mavs hosted the Lakers in the previous part of the season, winning that contest 118-97.
Dallas Mavericks vs. LA Lakers Betting Prediction
The Mavs have tremendous problems with tall, injured players. Meanwhile, the Lakers are playing excellent basketball. Even though they underwent some radical changes, the chemistry is still good, and the results are even better. That is why we must bet on the LA Lakers to win and cover a 5.5-point spread.
