Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles head to Dallas on the back of a defeat, but in solid form having won seven of their previous 10 games.
The Lakers began this sequence with a run of three consecutive victories, beating Memphis 116-110 at home before heading out on the road to down Sacramento 113-100 and 103-99.
They failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 117-114 at home to Detroit, but rebounded quickly to beat Golden State 115-113 on the road and Sacramento 132-22 at home.
Los Angeles then bounced back from a 122-110 home defeat to Cleveland by beating Portland 114-106 and Atlanta 119-102 at Crypto.com Arena.
The Lakers failed to make it three-in-a-row however, as they were beaten 119-115 in Houston on Sunday.
Dallas Mavericks Form
Dallas return home for this matchup having seen their current losing skid reach five games in Memphis last night.
The Mavericks went into Christmas Day on the back of a couple of wins, having downed the LA Clippers 113-97 and Portland 132-108.
They failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 105-99 to Minnesota on one of the biggest days of the basketball regular season, but they did rebound quickly to win 98-89 in Phoenix.
Dallas’ form nose-dived after that though, as they continued their road trip with defeats in Portland, 126-122, Sacramento, 110-100, and Houston 110-99.
The Mavericks then returned home for a 134-122 defeat to Cleveland, before heading to Memphis for a 119-104 defeat on Monday.
Verdict
Los Angeles arrive on the back of a loss, but they are in solid form and have been covering consistently.
Dallas, meanwhile, are struggling without Luka and Kyrie and they are also playing for the second night running, so give us the Lakers in this one.
