Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
- Season record: 28-32.
The Los Angeles Lakers have had a disappointing regular season, but they still have a chance of making the playoffs. Recent adjustments and transfers have resulted in a better team performance, which has translated into positive results.
In fact, they have won three out of their four most recent games, including a 124-111 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night. The Lakers took advantage of the Warriors’ poor away form and the absence of their top player.
Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Season record: 32-29.
The Dallas Mavericks have emerged from the NBA hiatus with a renewed sense of energy, as demonstrated by their impressive 116-142 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. This win put an end to their three-game losing streak, and they have a favorable schedule in the upcoming games.
This game against the Lakers will be the second of a six-game series at the American Airlines Center, where they have been dominant this season, winning 20 out of 30 games.
In Thursday’s game, Irving and Luka Dončić both played exceptionally well, with Dončić contributing a double-double of 28 points and 10 assists. It is expected that they will perform at a similar level against a tougher opponent.
JefeBet Prediction
The Dallas Mavericks are aiming to extend their winning streak against the Los Angeles Lakers to 5 out of their last 6 encounters in their upcoming game on Sunday. The Mavericks have previously had impressive performances on their home court and will be looking to replicate their success.
However, the Lakers should not be underestimated, especially with their recent victories which have boosted their confidence. Despite their strong offensive performance, averaging 117.1 points per game, the Lakers have struggled with their defense.
The Mavericks, on the other hand, have two exceptional offensive players who will look to exploit the Lakers’ defensive weaknesses. Due to the playing styles of both teams, it is expected to be a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Over
