Normally, when an NBA team gets blown out and embarrassed, we can expect it to bounce back in a big way the next game. However, it's questionable if Los Angeles is physically capable of doing just that with its current injury issues. The Lakers were without LeBron James, DeAndre Ayton, and Austin Reaves on Tuesday night as they were managing health concerns. Luka Doncic was out with a hamstring strain, and DeAndre Ayton is day-to-day with a knee problem. Dallas is 12-5 ATS in the past 17 meetings, and it is in double revenge after losing the first two this season. The Mavericks are getting a good number of points in this matchup due to Cooper Flagg's absence (sprained foot), and they can take advantage of the Lakers' personnel issues. Los Angeles is 3-6 ATS in its past nine games against Western Conference opponents, and the Lakers are playing their third game in four days. Take the Mavericks.

Pro Picks
Los Angeles at Dallas
The Lakers are in an epic battle within the ranks of the Western Conference, one of six teams separated by two games. There is a lot at stake here for LA, but they lost at Oklahoma City last night, and it remains to be seen if LeBron plays on back-to-back nights with the playoffs closing in. The Mavericks are strictly a spoiler team now. They will have Anthony Davis back for this one as well. The Lakers are 5-6 in their last 11 games, and have struggled on the road much of the season. I like Dallas in this one.
