Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers took on the OKC Thunder in each of their last two games. The first was a dominating 126-99 victory. LA finished shooting 54.8% from the field and 55% from behind the arc. At the end of the first half the Lakers were 75% from three. In the Tuesday night matchup it was the Thunder that came out on top with a 136-120 victory. The Lakers still shot the ball well, finishing 46% from the field and 45% from three. LeBron James led the team with 28 points. Austin Reaves followed him up with 24 points and Luka Doncic added 23 points. All 3 of them (as well as others) were questionable coming into that matchup but ended up playing.
Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks took on the LA Clippers in each of their last two games, getting blown out by double digits in each. The latest was a 135-104 loss on Saturday night. Anthony Davis led the team with 27 points and 9 rebounds. Kai Jones came off of the bench to add 18 points. Davis is questionable but likely to play on Wednesday night.

Lakers vs. Mavericks Prediction:
I like the Mavs in this matchup on Wednesday night. Dallas is sitting in 10th place in the Western conference and need to get some wins to ensure they make the play-in tournament. They have dominated the head-to-head covering in 8 of the last 10 matchups including each of the last three. The Lakers are 5-10-2 ATS as road favorites this season and are 1-4 in their last 5. Rui Hachimura did not play on Tuesday night as he continues to battle a knee injury. It’s completely possible some of the key Lakers get the night off on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back. This would be the Lakers 5th game in the last 7 days. I’ll roll with the home dog in this one.
Lakers vs. Mavericks Prediction: Mavs +4.5
