The Dallas Mavericks will play host to the Los Angeles Lakers at the American Airlines Center in the NBA on Wednesday night. The Mavs (38-41) are 10th in the Western Conference, while the Lakers (48-31) are in third place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Despite all that has happened this season, the Dallas Mavericks are still in contention for a play-in spot, 10th in the West, one game behind the Kings in ninth and 2.5 games ahead of the Suns.
However, the Mavs will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat here after getting smashed 135-104 by the Clippers on the road on Saturday night despite Anthony Davis putting up 27 points.
The Mavs are averaging 114.5 points per game this season (13th in the league), while allowing 115.4 PPG (19th overall).
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers are battling for the third seed in the Western Conference and need two more wins to secure that spot, while one more victory will secure top-six.
Los Angeles have won five of their last eight matches, but they will be looking to get back in the win column here after getting beaten 136-120 on the road by the Thunder last night.
This is the third match between these teams this season, and they have each won a game piece, though the Lakers have lost seven of their last 10 against this opponent.
