Dallas at Los Angeles

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.
