The Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Lakers are set to battle it out at the American Airlines Center in an NBA clash. The Mavericks are in 13th place in the Western Conference standings, while the Lakers are third. Here's our match prediction.
The Dallas Mavericks are 24-53 on the season and are the third-worst team in the Western Conference. The home team can't finish higher than 11th place after a season plagued by inconsistency and disappointing results.
Coming into this match, they've lost eight of their last nine matches, including a three-match losing streak. Their performances at home have proved more disappointing, as they've lost 14 straight games.
In their most recent match, they faced the Orlando Magic at home and lost 138-127. Cooper Flagg was the standout player as he posted a career-high 51 points on 19-30 shooting. He is the first young player in NBA history to score more than 50 points.
The Los Angeles Lakers are the third-best team in the West. They are 50-27 on the season and have secured their spot in this season's playoff tournament.
In their recent match against the Oklahoma City Thunder, they succumbed to a 139-96 road defeat. That result ended their four-match winning streak.
To make things even tougher, they will have to cope without their standout performer, Luka Doncic, who is sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Dallas Mavericks have been unable to string together a solid run of results. They've lost three consecutive matches and eight of their last nine outings. Nothing much can be expected from them, especially in front of their crowd, where they've lost 14 consecutive matches.
The Los Angeles Lakers are without their star Luka Doncic. However, that shouldn't be cause for concern as they still boast some quality within their ranks. The Lakers have won their last three matches against this opponent and are out to complete a season sweep. Our Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers prediction: Los Angeles Lakers wins.
