Dallas will roll into Los Angeles to face the Lakers as the two teams are at polar opposites of the vibes spectrum. The Mavericks are coming off a thrilling, team-affirming come-from-WAY-behind victory against the Warriors. No to mention Luka Doncic’s birthday. Meanwhile, Los Angeles is beset on all sides. Injuries, front office vs Rich Paul drama… oh, and their team just plain stinks on ice.
The game in LA is Dallas’ last stop on a three-game road trip they’ve been on since the All-Star break. With any luck, they’ll head home riding a two-game winning streak and look to keep pace in the unrelenting Western Conference standings, just barely holding off a surging Denver squad, and attempting to chase down Utah through the final stretch of the season.
