Preview
Dallas Mavericks Preview
It’s been a tough week for the Mavericks, who have lost two in a row to the Clippers, including one 135-104 blowout. Jason Kidd’s team is 38-41 and clinging to the final play-in spot in the West. Injuries remain a problem, with crackers such as Kyrie Irving, Dante Exum and Daniel Gafford all out. With little depth and three defeats in the last four, the Mavs need a strong reaction at home to stabilize their playoff dreams.
Expected Lineup: Thompson, Dinwiddie, Davis, Jones, Washington
Los Angeles Lakers Preview
The Lakers are peaking as well with four wins in their last five including the 126-99 dominance of top-seeded OKC. JJ Redick’s side has risen to third in the West with an overall record of 48-30, hoping to cement automatic playoff spots. Depth will be tested with LeBron James, Luka Doncic and other stars answering as questionable, but the Lakers’ recent play on the road (3 wins in their past 4 games) offers confidence.
Expected Lineup: Reeves, Doncic, Hayes, Hachimura, LeBron
Key Stats
Mavericks have dropped 3 of last 4 games
Lakers 4-1 last 5; scoring 118.6 PPG
Lakers are 1-4 in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
This season LeBron James is averaging 23.9 PPG
OKC's last game, vs. LAL: LAL shot 37-86 43% FG
Player Props
LeBron James Over 6.5 Assists: If Doncic is kept on a minutes limit or out entirely with that sprained ankle, playmaking duties will fall out of necessity more to LeBron than Anthony Davis, making this number potentially simple for LeBron to hit.
Anthony Davis Over 24.5 Points: Davis has taken on a greater scoring load these past few games, and he’s up against a Dallas team that is lacking size in the paint.
Final Prediction
The Lakers are surging while the Mavs stumble — a lot, especially with those injuries. Back los angeles lakers to win by 5+ points and edge closer to sealing a top-six playoff berth.
Prediction: Lakers 118, Mavericks 109Pick: Lakers -5.5 | Over 231.5 Points
