There is a nice game tonight: Dallas Mavericks - LA Lakers. Lakers are going to be my favourite for this game obviously but I won't be surprised to see Mavericks winning this game also. Because this is a close game actually if we take their positions in their conference into account right now. For Lakers, A. Davis's condition is going to be clear right before the game. If he doesn't play, Lebron and Westbrook will have the most of the responsibility for this game.
But the Mavericks is without their number one player, Luka Doncic. So it's hard to win against Lebron and Westbrook without your top player in the roster. Maybe they can stay for the first few quarters before Lebron and company take a comfortable lead. So it doesn't matter if AD will sit or play this game. Lakers has all the advantage as they will have to deal with KP only.
Without Luka it does seem like the Lakers should be able to easily win this one. It looks like the Mavs even have the edge on the sportsbook I'm looking at, so it could be a nice little opportunity to get a W with some good odds for the gambling folks out there. I won't be able to place a bet on this one unfortunately, but I will have the game on in the background. Nice whenever you get to watch a game on ESPN. Their streaming services are head and shoulders better quality than the alternatives out there...
And Lakers taking a 10 point lead in the first quarter.
I know it's early but it seems that the Lakers are playing good defense in the beginning and hopefully they can sustain their offense. James already with 10 points just in the first quarter alone. So it seems he is going to take the scoring again for the Lakers to win against a Luka-less Mavs.
