Dallas Mavericks
It’s not the ideal scenario having to face a disgruntled former employee who got blindsided by a trade without your full complement of staff but that’s what the Mavericks are facing entering this contest.
It will be intriguing to see who Jason Kidd elects to put on Doncic to limit his output, especially with so many of his big men injured.

Los Angeles Lakers
It took a few games but Luka Doncic has looked much closer to his typical self in the last two matches than he did when initially introduced to his new team.
Doncic is a player who thrives with the ball in his hand, and while LeBron James is also a master playmaker he’s capable of playing off the ball (something Luka isn’t as capable or good at).

Free NBA Prediction:
Unfortunately, Anthony Davis won’t be available to face his former team so fans will have to wait until April 9th when the teams meet again in Dallas.
For this match expect the glass to be a major factor particularly with the Mavs missing so many big men. LA inexplicably (yes – I do think this is surreal given Doncic’s lack of defensive chops) has been the best defensive team in the last 15 matches.
Granted, the teams LA faced played a role in this stat given nine of those teams are in the lower tier and both games against the Warriors were pre-Jimmy Butler days.
Regardless, both sides will be anxious to win and make a statement; it’s just that the Mavs don’t have the horses to compete fully.
