🔥 Lakers vs. Mavericks Predictions for NBA on ABC, 1/24

It’s safe to say that Lakers news this week has been almost all off-the-court storylines. As crazy and interesting as their ownership and leadership have been, we’re here to focus on Lakers vs. Mavericks predictions for tonight. Shortly after making headlines, LA ended up losing to their cross-town rivals on Thursday night.

The Los Angeles Clippers saw the return of Kawhi Leonard to help with that victory, but Dallas won’t be seeing the return of Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving. However, they were able to take down a different California team - the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night themselves. So, is that enough for us to take them with our Lakers vs. Mavericks predictions?

Despite missing their two big pieces, they’re now on a four-game winning streak. That said, they still are unlikely to be a playoff team in any capacity, while LA looks as though they’ll be battling for one of the coveted top six spots. As for when these teams met earlier this season, Luka Doncic and company came away with a 10-point victory.

With this game back in the city in which he used to play, let’s see where the value is in terms of a best bet from our Lakers vs. Mavericks predictions to add to our NBA expert picks.

 

 

 

🏅 Lakers vs. Mavericks Best Bet: Rui Hachimura Over 9.5 Points (-129 at Novig)

In that previous meeting, which was the day after Thanksgiving, Luka Doncic put up 35 points and 11 assists. Along with nearly back-to-back games with triple-doubles heading into this matchup, everything is looking par for the course for the superstar. Of course, oddsmakers know how much fans love to take his props.

That’s why we feel as though they are inflated for this revenge game, and therefore, isn’t the focus of our Lakers vs. Mavericks predictions. Finding value elsewhere is often the name of the game; for example, we took LA’s Marcus Smart to have over 2.5 assists on Thursday night, and he finished with four of them.

This time, we’ve got our eyes on a different Laker, and it may surprise you. That’s because he's technically a bench player (as of late) in Rui Hachimura. Even with that being the case, we’re confident in our Lakers vs. Mavericks predictions with how ineffective Deandre Ayton has been. That’s also why he recorded just 20 minutes the other night.

Meanwhile, Hachimura got 28 off the bench to help him hit over his points prop line for the fourth straight game. Granted, it hasn’t been a high line to begin with, but asking for double digits is far from a tall task, and he had 14 against Dallas earlier this year. So, we’ve got Rui Hachimura over 9.5 points (-129 at Novig) as the best bet from our Lakers vs. Mavericks predictions.

✍🏼 Lakers vs. Mavericks Injury Report & Latest News

As far as Lakers vs. Mavericks injuries go, we’ve touched on the big hitters already, and Dallas remains the more banged up team. Although Anthony Davis no longer needs surgery, they have also been without Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford.

In terms of Lakers vs. Mavericks injuries in LA, it’s still all about Austin Reaves. At this point his return from the calf issue should be sooner rather than later. You can keep closer track of it and more than just Lakers vs. Mavericks news with the Fantasy Alarm NBA injury report!
