GAME THREAD: Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

WHO: Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

WHAT: One last Dirk vs. Kobe showdown

WHERE: STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, CA

WHEN: 9:30 p.m. CT

HOW: FSSW or NBATV

THE STORY: The Mavs could use a win after a couple of close calls, and no better way to get back on track than playing the Lakers. It appears that Salah Mejri may be getting another start with Zaza Pachulia still nursing an injury, and I think we are all excited to see more of what he can do.

Yay for 7:30 California start times that I can actually watch all the way through! Though I'll be stuck with Lakers announcers, boo. :(

Let's go Mavs.
