Dallas Mavericks: Team Form and Main Statistics

• Overall form. The Mavericks have been on a solid run in their most recent matches. They have won 3 out of their last 4 matches, though their wins were marginal. In the regular season, they have won 38 and lost 39, so things could go either way.
• Home Performance. The Mavericks won their last home game. They have averaged 114.5 points per game at home this season.
• Average points per game. The Mavericks are averaging 117.0 points per game in the 2024-25 NBA season. 
• Key player.  Anthony Davies is steadily working his way back into form and you can expect him to try for a dominant performance against his old team.
• Defence. The Dallas roster has shown some weaknesses offensively. Especially against high-scoring teams. They will be hoping that their defence anchored by Anthony Davies will be able to withstand the Lakers offensive trio.
• Head-to-Head vs Los Angeles. The Lakers have won three of the five most recent games with the Mavericks. The last time was a close game. The Lakers just edged out in an overtime win. The Mavericks aren’t a team to take lightly, though. Especially if Anthony Davies is in top form.

Los Angeles Lakers: Team Form and Main Statistics

• Overall form. The Lakers have been on a bit of an up-and-down run. Their recent performances, though, have been promising. LeBron James, Luka Doncic, and Austin Reaves are all playing at a high level.
• Away record. The Lakers have been strong on the road. This is thanks in part to LeBron’s leadership and Lukas MVP-level play. The team does well under pressure.
• Average points per game. The Lakers score an average of 112.9 points per game.
• Offensive performance. The Lakers’ offense is balanced. LeBron and Luka facilitate while Austin Reeves has also given them an offensive spark as a reliable 3rd option.
• Key player. Luka will be fired up for this game. It will be just the second time he’s faced off against his old team after the shocking mid-season trade. He’ll be looking to prove a point against his old team. 
• Defence. The Lakers’ defense is one of the best in the league. And it all starts with their effort and wing players like Vando and Dorian Finney-Smith. This makes it difficult for opposing teams to gain easy points. LeBron’s basketball IQ also contributes to the Lakers’ defensive strategy.
• Head-to-Head vs The Mavericks. Their recent matchups make this game a tough call but if the Lakers’ stars are all playing, they could edge.
