The Dallas Mavericks hosted the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night. It was a crucial game for both teams. Anthony Davis played for the first time in two months for the Lakers, and the Mavs had a chance to move into a tie for the sixth seed in the Western Conference. Dallas must move up if they want to avoid the play-in tournament.
Kristaps Porzingis played on the second night of a back-to-back for just the fourth time this season. He had 19 points, seven rebounds, four assists, and three steals in the Mavericks win over the Pistons on Wednesday night.
