Defensively, The Lakers are one of the worst in the NBA. The team is allowing 110 points per game this year. Good enough for 27th in the league. Their last two games, they held their opponents (Spurs,Kings) to 86 points or less.
If the Lakers are going to keep this game close on the road, they must play team defense like they have the last two games.
Dallas Mavericks

Dallas shot 47 percent from the floor, and 41 percent from three-point land in the win. The Mavericks were lucky to get the win, they were out rebounded, 59-47.
The Mavericks are led by Harrison Barnes in scoring this year. He is averaging 18.8 points per game this season. Rookie sensation Dennis Smith Jr. has been doing his part in his first season, averaing 14 points per game this year.
If Barnes and Smith get going early against the Lakers, the Maveicks offense will be free-flowing through out the game.

Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Prediction:
The Lakers are not a good team. They are especially bad on the road, but the way they have been playing lately, Los Angeles could be taken seroius against Dallas. Kyle Kuzma will need a good game for that to happen.
The Mavericks are not much to brag about at home, going 9-14 at the American Airlines Center. Dallas has won four straight against the Lakers. Dallas is not as talented as Los Angeles this year.
