Fans and punters will already be scratching their heads with the outcome of the next NBA game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. The Lakers are without their star man, Doncic, while Austin Reeves slowly reintegrates after a lengthy absence. Can this be the Mavs' shot at winning their first game against the Lakers this season? See our match prediction below.
The Lakers are already feeling the brunt of Luka’s injury with two consecutive losses now to the Thunder and Spurs. For context, the Lakers won eight of the 11 games prior. These two defeats were also at home, which isn't doing well for the Lakers' outlook here.
And to top it off, their two victories over Dallas this season featured Doncic, who scored 33 and 35 in both games. Still, they might just be banking on Dallas to be a worse team overall. The Mavericks currently have the second-longest active losing streak after eight consecutive defeats.
Coincidentally, that losing run started with a 116-110 defeat to the Lakers. It's only poetic that the Lakers offer them a chance to end it. However, with 11 defeats in its last 13 road trips, Dallas isn't looking too hot, even against a Doncic-less Lakers side.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
While a notable number of key players may miss this game, we still expect the Lakers, in particular, to bring their high FG% and notably low FG% allowed. That combination has now seen eight of its last ten games end with at least 226 points.
The Mavs are also an interesting case here, as they average just about two points fewer than the Lakers, which should see them net a ton of points, just as in their two meetings earlier this season. Hence, our Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks prediction is Over 225.5 points.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
