The Los Angeles Lakers host the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers are starting to surge after a rocky start to the season. They’re currently on a three-game winning streak and have won six of their last seven games, and they’re fresh off a 131-99 rout of the Utah Jazz on Tuesday. Seven of their players scored in double figures, and even better, LeBron James only needed to play 24 minutes, although he still managed to drop nine assists.
Dallas surprised many people by winning six of its first seven games and nine of its first 12. It is now on a two-game skid, but it is the NBA’s second-highest-scoring team at 122.8 points a game. What looked to be a two-horse gang led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving has gotten help thanks to some strong play from guard Tim Hardaway Jr., and it is lighting things up from distance as the third-most accurate 3-point shooting team.
After this game, L.A. will take off on a challenging four-game road trip, so a win here would be immensely helpful as far as its mindset ahead of that string of away games.
