The Los Angeles Lakers visit the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
Luka Doncic will return to his old stomping grounds — American Airlines Center — once again as the Lakers start the heart of their long Grammy road trip. They came back from a sizable deficit to defeat the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday, and they tried to do so again versus the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, only to fall short by eight points.
The Lakers have a 26-17 record and are in fifth place in the Western Conference. They’re in a virtual tie with the sixth-place Phoenix Suns and are one game behind the fourth-place Houston Rockets.
Dallas is in 11th place with a 19-26 mark, but it shouldn’t be taken lightly. Rookie forward Cooper Flagg is impressing many people across the league, and the team has won four games in a row and seven of its last 10. It is one of the best fast-break teams in the NBA, and even without Anthony Davis, who is out with a hand injury, and center Dereck Lively II, it has a strong and capable front line.
