Sunday, December 1st finds the Dallas Mavericks tipping off versus the Los Angeles Lakers in a late matinee. It’s the second meeting between the squads this season with the first taking overtime to decide and the Lakers coming out on top 119-110.
Last season, the teams met three times with the Lakers sweeping the series. The Lakers hold the all-time record having bested the Mavericks in 111 of their 158 matches.
Dallas Mavericks
Leading the Southwest Division the Mavericks have taken great strides in a single year. Luka Doncic is getting some hype as a Most Valuable Player candidate and earning those accolades.

The 20-year old leads the Mavericks in scoring (30.8 points), assists (9.6), rebounds (9.9), field goal percent (48.6%) and steals (1.4) per game. The lone key category he isn’t leading belongs to his new running mate Kristaps Porzingis which is blocks (2.2).
Porzingis is slowly rounding into the player he was prior to his injury particularly his defense and work in the paint.
With a league-high seven triple-doubles this season Doncic came close to making it eight in the game versus the Suns when he matched his career-high scoring with 42 points adding 11 assists, and nine rebounds.
Although Porzingis struggled scoring he did grab 13 rebounds. Tim Hardaway Jr. is melding into the third scorer with his recent success and his 26 points versus the Suns are reflective of his step in that regard.
Seth Curry scored 11 points as the only other Maverick to reach double-figures.
Dallas enters the match without any players on the injured list.
Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers bring a 10-game win streak that matches the Bucks as the highest this season. It’s also the best start for the club since 2008-09.

While the 17-2 record and 10 game win streak is impressive all 10 teams beaten during the streak have records below .500 and the Lakers were pushed to the buzzer on several occasions to capture victories.
That said the win over the Wizards on Friday was definitive with LA excelling on both ends. Three starters posted double-doubles including LeBron James (23 points, 11 assists), Anthony Davis (26 points, 13 rebounds) and JaVale McGee (15 points, 11 rebounds).
The trio of Quinn Cook (17), Rajon Rondo (13) and Danny Green (11) were the other double-figure contributors.
Kyle Kuzma made his season debut in the first match versus Dallas but may miss this contest after spraining his ankle Friday. Avery Bradley (hairline fracture in his leg) will return sometime early in December.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Lakers are 7-3 in the last 10 head to head contests.
- The Lakers are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games.
- Over Under is 4-6 in team’s last 10 head to head matchups
Free Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers NBA Prediction:
The first match between these clubs offered everything a fan could ask for by hitting overtime and both team’s top stars playing to their potential.
Luka Doncic (31 points, 13 rebounds 15 assists) and LeBron James (39 points, 12 rebounds, 16 assists) both registered triple-doubles in what arguably was a matchup of the league’s top star and the player who could eventually replace him.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Take the points and the Mavericks
This game is a really tough call for several reasons. The Lakers are 3-2 against teams over .500 and haven’t played a team with a winning record since their loss to the Raptors on November 10th.
Furthermore, the 42 points Doncic scored against the Suns was in response to his 4-14 shooting night versus the Clippers and it’s hard to imagine he won’t be especially focused but Porzingis had his lowest scoring night in that same game.
It feels like the match will come down to how Davis and Porzingis play and if they match up against one another.
If it’s close I’d expect the whistle to favor the Lakers so I’ll take them in the match but in terms of a bet go with the Mavericks and the points.
