Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks: Current situation
Luka Doncic is finally getting his groove back with his new team. He just had his best game as a Laker in an upset win at Denver, raising a ton of eyebrows around the NBA. Many people now have the Lakers as their dark horse to win the West, at 34-21 they are the 4th seed in the NBA which gives them home court advantage in the first round.
The Mavericks are just trying to survive at this point. Most of their front line is out injured, including Anthony Davis who is the player they got in return from the Doncic trade. The Mavs are barely clinging to the 8th seed in the West, a defeat here could see them drop in the standings as the surging Warriors have won 3 games in a row which puts them just a half game behind Dallas.
Los Angeles Lakers Stats & Form
LA played the role of streak busters in their latest win as they took down the Denver Nuggets 123-100 at Ball Arena. Doncic led the way with 32 points and 10 rebounds, while 3 other Lakers scored 20+ in what was a massive upset win for LA. There is no room for complacency though. The Lakers are 12-3 SU in their last 15 games and have covered the spread 6 times in 7 games vs Western Conference opponents.
Dallas Mavericks Stats & Form
Sunday’s defeat at Golden State was a game to forget for the Mavericks as nothing went their way in a 126-102 loss. The Warriors did a solid job closing down Kyrie Irving, when he doesn’t have it going the Mavs are pretty much toast out there as the rest of the team relies on him quite a lot on offense. Bettors still like the Mavericks though, as they’ve covered the spread 7 times in 9 games, but their road form is a concern as they’ve won just once in 5 outings.
Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks: Head-to-Head
Tuesday’s game will be the 176th meeting between the Lakers and Mavs in the regular season. Dallas has had the upper hand in recent meetings winning 8 of the last 10. Backing Dallas has yielded profit in 11 of 13 meetings as well, but all of that goes out the window after they traded their best player to the Lakers.
Los Angeles Lakers – Dallas Mavericks Odds
Backing Doncic to beat his old team will get you odds of 4/11. If you like the Mavs’ chances here, you can opt to back the road team to get the win at 11/5 odds.
The point total has been set at a modest 227.5 points, with odds of 10/11 supporting either the over or the under.

Betting tip and prediction: Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks (25.02.2025)
This game has been long awaited by both fanbases and pretty much everyone following the NBA up closely. It will be a somewhat emotional night for Luka Doncic as he faces his old team, this could motivate him to have a big scoring night if things go well early in the game. The Mavericks really struggled on Sunday vs Golden State, the lack of size is just killing them on the inside right now. The Lakers aren’t exactly the tallest team out there, but their rebounding has improved over the last 3 games with them averaging 53 boards a night during that stretch. LeBron James is playing some of his best basketball since the turn of this decade, the addition of Doncic has once again revitalized his career at the tender age of 40. LA has a big edge in three-point defense here as well, they allow just 34.2% of threes to go in when playing at home, that’s the 6th best mark in the entire NBA. Home form has been something that the Lakers have relies on all year long, they are currently on a run of 7 wins in 8 games at Crypto.com Arena. They are just in a much better space right now than Dallas, having covered in 6 of 7 games vs Western Conference opponents we believe they are the team to bet on in Tuesday’s game.
