The LA Lakers will travel to Dallas to take on the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday in a clash between two Western Conference teams with postseason aspirations.
The Lakers (31-43) have continued to hover below the .500 mark for the season, struggling for consistency and desperate for good results. They have lost seven of their last ten games. The Lakers are 11-25 on the road this season as they hope to build on their incredible win over the Cleveland Cavaliers a few nights ago.
Meanwhile, the hosts (46-29), as ever, will be dependent on Luka Doncic to get the job done, especially after trading Kristaps Porziņģis to the Washington Wizards. The Mavs will be keen to secure home court advantage as they seek to close the gap on fourth-place Golden State Warriors (48-28).
