Dallas Mavericks versus LA Lakers is a Western Conference matchup on Sunday night at the American Airlines Center. Dallas has struggled for consistency throughout the season, sitting in the 13th spot with a .312 win percentage. They’ve dropped eight of their last ten assignments and are on a three-game slide. Injuries have been their main concern this season, although some top names like Caleb Martin and PJ Washington could be fit to face the Lakers.
Los Angeles Lakers, meanwhile, are third in the Western Conference, 11 games behind the Thunder. Despite securing a playoff spot, they’ll be more concerned about locking down the No. 3 seed, with only four games separating them from the sixth-placed Timberwolves. The Lakers will also want to recover from their 139-96 demolition against the Thunder, and prove that they can challenge for the championship.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
LA Lakers are the betting favorites. JJ Redick’s men cannot afford any slip-ups with the Nuggets, Rockets, and Timberwolves breathing down their necks. The bad news is that they’ll be without Luca Doncic, who suffered a hamstring injury against the Thunder. The former Dallas star has an average of 33.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game for the Lakers. Reaves and James will take over the attacking duties, although the duo didn’t impress much against the Thunder. Note also that PJ Washington, Caleb Martin, and Marvin Bagley III could be fit to play on Sunday. They could make a difference and help the Mavs lose honorably.
Our prediction for Dallas Mavericks vs LA Lakers: Dallas Mavericks on the +6.5 line.
