Los Angeles Lakers Form

Los Angeles head to Dallas on a three-game win streak and on the back of an NBA Cup success.

The Lakers have been in consistent form since early November, winning 11 of their last 15 games to improve to 14-9.

They are 3-0 this month – a run that saw them become the first ever winners of the NBA’s In-Seasn Tournament.

Los Angeles started this streak with a 107-97 home win against Houston in a regular season matchup.

The Lakers then turned their attention to the NBA Cup, beating Phoenix 106-103 in the semi-finals before blowing out New Orleans in the final, 133-89.

Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas enter this matchup on the back of a three straight wins that have improved their record to 14-8.

The Mavericks struggled during the second half of November, losing four of their final six games of the month.

They started December with a couple of defeats too, falling to a 108-94 defeat to Memphis and a 126-120 loss to Oklahoma City at home.

Dallas were able to stop the rot when Utah came to town though, and they did it in emphatic fashion with a 147-97 victory.

The Mavericks then backed that up on the road as they travelled to Portland to down the Trail Blazers 125-112, and then headed to Memphis to down the Grizzlies, 120-113.

Verdict

Los Angeles are on a roll and are facing an injury-hit Dallas team here, so we like the Lakers covering in a road win.
