What to Know

The Dallas Mavericks will head out on the road to face off against the Los Angeles Lakers at 10:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Crypto.com Arena. Despite being away, the Mavericks are looking at a two-point advantage in the spread.

The point spread may have favored the Mavericks on Sunday, but the final result did not. They took a hard 129-113 fall against Sacramento. The Mavericks have been going strong on the season, but this is now their second defeat in a row.

Despite the loss, the Mavericks got a solid performance out of Luka Doncic, who dropped a double-double on 25 points and 10 rebounds.

Meanwhile, the Lakers waltzed into Tuesday's match with two straight wins but they left with three. Everything went their way against Utah as Los Angeles made off with a 131-99 win. Winning is a bit easier when you work as a team to post ten more assists than your opponent, as the Lakers did.

Anthony Davis was the offensive standout of the contest as he dropped a double-double on 26 points and 16 rebounds. He has been hot recently, having posted ten or more rebounds the last three times he's played. D'Angelo Russell was another key contributor, scoring 20 points along with 8 assists.

Dallas' loss was their third straight at home, which bumped their record down to 9-5. As for Los Angeles, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last seven matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 9-6 record this season.

Wednesday's match is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: The Mavericks have themselves a killer kicker this season, having made 48.3% of their shots per game. However, it's not like the Lakers (currently ranked fifth in field goal percentage per game) struggle in that department as they've nailed 49.2% of theirs this season. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out. Check CBS Sports after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other NBA content.

The Mavericks barely slipped by the Lakers in their previous meeting back in March, winning 111-110. Do the Mavericks have another victory up their sleeve, or will the Lakers turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
