Dallas Mavericks (38-41) versus Los Angeles Lakers (48-31) is a Western Conference matchup on Tuesday night at the American Airlines Center. Dallas will come into this matchup realizing they won’t make the playoffs after a disappointing campaign. Trading off Luca Doncic to the Lakers in February has proved to be a disastrous decision, with fans asking for answers from the management. The season-ending injury to Kyrie Irving also means Dallas will have to wait a little longer to see him form a solid partnership with former LA Lakers All-Star Anthony Davis.

Conversely, the Lakers have benefited from Doncic’s immense contribution, carrying them to the third spot in the Western Conference. JJ Redick’s men are 17 games behind the Thunder and a game ahead of the Clippers, Nuggets, Warriors, and Grizzlies. The Lakers are coming off a painful 16-point defeat to the Thunder, meaning there’s no room for slip-ups in the race to secure the No. 3 seed. Only the Thunder and the Rockets have bagged their playoff positions in the conference.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction

Jason Kidd will make a game-time decision on whether Anthony Davis is fit to face his former employers on Wednesday night. He has provided some offensive spark since recovering from injury, scoring 27 points during their 135-104 loss to the Clippers. However, he certainly needs help, which may not be forthcoming now that Irving is out for the rest of the season. 

The Lakers, meanwhile, should have a healthy squad, with LeBron James and Luca Doncic missing on the injury list. These two should make a difference and guide the Lakers to a critical win. Our prediction for Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers: LA Lakers to cover -4.5 spread.

Prediction:

 

LA Lakers to cover -4.5 spread.
