GAME THREAD: Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

WHO: Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

WHAT: Another round of Luka vs. LeBron

WHERE: STAPLES Center, Los Angeles, CA

WHEN: 8:30 p.m. CT

THE STORY: The Mavericks are BACK BB, and Luka looked more like his normal self last night against a suddenly spunky Warriors team - just in time to head south to face LeBron and the Lakers in a national TV showdown. No word as of this writing if Porzingis will rest on the second night of a back to back, but fortunately for the Mavericks they were able to rest their starters in the fourth last night. Also fortunately, the Lakers are also on the second night of a back to back, putting the two teams on somewhat equal footing.

These matchups have been fun so far this year, and there’s little reason to believe this one won’t be as well. LET’S GO MAVS!
