Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers: Who’s better head-to-head?

The Dallas Mavericks entered the offseason planning to find their way into title contention. Improving their defense and becoming more versatile were keys. Most fans thought the Mavs would trade their draft picks for veterans in hopes of building their roster around Luka Doncic.

Instead, Dallas traded for a third selection. They took plus-defenders in Josh Green and Tyler Bey and one of the top shooters in Tyrell Terry.
