Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers Betting Preview

The Lakers picked up a big time victory on Monday against Oklahoma City, with Anthony Davis delivering a huge performance by scoring 27 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. LeBron James contributed 25 points, 6 assists, and 7 rebounds in the win, a much-needed response after consecutive losses to Phoenix and Utah.

During the 2023-2024 season Davis, who has played in 39 of the 41 games, has taken over the top scorer position for the Lakers, averaging 25.7 points per game. James follows closely with 24.7 points per game. De’Angelo Russell, now removed from the starting lineup, holds the third position with 15.4 points per game, and Austin Reaves is at 15.1.

NBA schedule, the Lakers will continue their homestand against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, face Portland on Sunday, and take on the Clippers on Tuesday. The homestand extends further as they host the Bulls on January 25th.

The Dallas Mavericks showcased a well-rounded offensive performance in their win against the New Orleans Pelicans, even in the absence of Luka Doncic. Kyrie Irving’s impressive 42-point performance and Tim Hardaway’s nine three-pointers, finishing with 41 points, propelled the team’s momentum.

The Mavericks rank in the Top 8 in team scoring, averaging over 118 points per game. Doncic leads the team with an impressive 33.6 points per game, followed by Irving with 25.8 points per game, and Hardaway takes the third spot with over 18 points per game. Dallas stands out as one of the top three-point shooting teams, making an average of 15.2 per game.

Starting on back-to-back road games, the Mavericks will face Golden State on Friday. After that, they return home for two games against the Celtics and Suns before hitting the road again for a matchup against Atlanta.

Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers Betting Prediction

We are going to take the Dallas Mavericks here. Luka Doncic will play in this game, and be a big-time problem for the Los Angeles Lakers. Dallas is one of the most talented teams in the country when they put things together. Look for Luka, Irving, and Hardaway to all give the Lakers problems.

The Mavericks win this game, despite being on the road. Our final betting prediction for this game is the Mavericks 110-105 over the Lakers. Bet the Mavericks +2.5, and sprinkle some money on the Mavericks’ +124 moneyline! That is our Mavericks vs Lakers betting analysis!
