🔥 Lakers Rolling, Mavericks Searching for Answers

Even without tournament pressure, this matchup matters.

The Lakers enter the night riding a five-game winning streak, holding momentum and confidence as they climb the Western Conference standings.

Dallas, meanwhile, faces offensive inconsistencies and rotation challenges — but could get a major boost: Anthony Davis is officially questionable after missing 14 games due to a calf strain. And knowing AD’s competitive profile, a return tonight wouldn’t be surprising.

🏥 Injury Report & Game Context

The Lakers received encouraging news with Deandre Ayton, who missed the previous outing due to a right knee contusion, now upgraded to probable.

Marcus Smart, however, remains questionable with back spasms — a potential blow to perimeter defense and ball pressure.

For the Mavericks, the big question remains Anthony Davis. His presence would reshape their two-way identity, though conditioning remains uncertain.

Dallas also remains shorthanded:

• Kyrie Irving — out (left knee surgery)
• Dante Exum — out (right knee management)
• Dereck Lively II — out (right foot management)

These absences weaken depth and reduce the Mavericks’ offensive ceiling.

📋 Probable Starters

Lakers: Ayton, Hachimura, James, Reaves, Dončić

Mavericks: Gafford, Washington, Flagg, Christie, Williams
