The Los Angeles Lakers start a three-game road trip with a Sunday afternoon game in Dallas against the Mavericks. Any game featuring LeBron James and Luka Doncic is special, but this is also the first time James will face off with Kyrie Irving this season.
It comes at a critical point in the campaign for both teams but especially the Lakers who are looking to jump three teams in the Western Conference standings that have all lost multiple games in recent days. A win Sunday would put the Lakers in a tie with the Portland Trail Blazers and Oklahoma City Thunder for 11th in the West.
Here’s preview of the odds and matchup as well as a pick for Lakers vs. Mavericks.
