This one is going to be an uphill climb for the Mavericks. Not only are they going to play without Doncic and Irving here, they’ll be playing the second game of a back-to-back situation here. In addition, they have to travel in after playing Memphis on the road, while the Lakers had Monday off and just had to make the short trip from Houston Sunday night. Los Angeles is relatively healthy at this point with their stars ready to take the floor here. With the Mavericks banged up and tired after playing against the Grizzlies, you have to fade them here. Take the Lakers with Davis and James leading the way for the visitors.
