GAME THREAD: Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

WHO: Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

WHAT: A chance for win number two.

WHERE: STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, CA

WHEN: 9:30 p.m. CT

HOW: FSSW or NBA League Pass

THE STORY: The Mavs somehow pulled out a win Sunday vs. the Bucks, and they'll be without Deron Williams and Dirk Nowitzki yet again tonight. But the young guys showed some signs of life in that overtime slugfest, and they'll get playing time yet again against an upstart Lakers team coached by Luke Walton who beat --- GASP --- the Warriors the other night, among some other pretty good teams.

Let's see what the good guys can do tonight. Go Mavs. (And go vote, if you are here in the States and of age!)
