The Los Angeles Lakers have won three straight home games SU and ATS since a season-opening road loss at the Clippers. They'll be back on the road for a matchup with the Mavs at Dallas Friday night, and I like the Lakers to put on a show and earn their first W away from home.

Dallas has won three of four following a 109-106 upset win at Denver, but that was against a Nuggets team playing on no rest. Note that the Mavs are 6-11 ATS coming off a win as an underdog dating back to the start of the last season and 8-19-2 ATS in their last 29 Friday games.

Dallas has a promising star duo in Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, but they're not at the level of Lakers' LeBron James and Anthony Davis just yet.

8* play on LA Lakers.
