Mavericks shooting guard Seth Curry is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s road tilt with the Lakers due to right hip soreness. Curry is averaging 3.4 points per game in 10.1 minutes per contest for Dallas this season.

Dallas power forward Maxi Kleber will miss Wednesday’s game with a right small toe dislocation. Kleber is averaging 3.4 points per game in 18.0 minutes per contest this year. 

Lakers shooting guard Gabe Vincent will sit out Wednesday’s game due to what’s been termed a left knee effusion. Vincent is averaging 6.0 points per game in 28.0 minutes per contest this year and is targeting early December for a potential return date.

Los Angeles small forward Cam Reddish exited his team’s game on Tuesday night due to left groin soreness, and his status is up in the air for Wednesday’s home date with Dallas. Reddish is seventh on the team in scoring this season with 7.9 points per game and he’s been playing an average of 25.3 minutes per contest for the Lakers this year.

Dallas is 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games against Los Angeles.

Dallas is 4-1 ATS as a road favorite this season.

The Lakers are 10-16-1 ATS with the rest disadvantage against their opponent since the start of last season. That’s the fourth-worst mark in the league during that span.

Los Angeles is 3-5 ATS after a win this season.

The over is 11-3 in Dallas’s games this season. That’s tied for the second-highest over percentage in the league.

The Dallas Mavericks have owned the Los Angeles Lakers of late. Dallas is 7-2-1 ATS and 7-3 straight-up in their last 10 games against Los Angeles. The Mavericks have beaten the Lakers twice in a row and twice against the spread in the last two games between these clubs in Crypto.com Arena.

Dallas is doing it with offense this season. The Mavs rank second in the NBA in offensive efficiency and second in the league in points scored per game. Dallas will also have the rest advantage in this contest. The Mavericks last played at home on Sunday night, while the Lakers played at home on Tuesday night. In what should be a high-scoring back-and-forth affair, I like the Mavericks to win and cover the number in L.A. on Wednesday night.
