Dallas Mavericks vs LA Lakers Prediction and Betting Tips (16.12.2021)

Command Analysis

Dallas Mavericks

USA

Mavericks are gaining form after a slump, which happened after injuries to key players. Kristaps Porzingis has already recovered, but Luka Doncic is still in the injuried list.

Dallas recorded two consecutive victories, beating Oklahoma (116:95) and Charlotte (120:96) by a wide margin. Hornets' defense was completely destroyed in this match and their offense was too weak, but it was predictable, because James Borrego's men were not playing with a strongest squad.

LA Lakers

USA

Lakers managed to get back to the Top-6 of the Western Conference, so their performance is improving. Frank Vogel's men are aiming for a play-off zone and so far they are quite successful.

Lakers also won two matches in a row, beating Oklahoma (95:116) and Orlando (106:94). Players know that fans are expecting a better result and it seems like now is the perfect moment for an improvement. Now team is approaching the match in Texas, but LeBron James and co are ready for it.
