The LA Lakers made a big deal with Cleveland just ahead of the trade deadline. They gave away some young players that were significant contributors, and for a bad team overall, the deal was more about next year and having money to spend on some free agents and rebuild the team. A bad team has a more difficult time stitching together new players and defining new roles. Dallas is not a good team at 17-38, but they play better at home, and are catching the Lakers at a vulnerable time, as they are redefining roles and getting new players up to speed with the offense. I think the Mavs steal one at home tonight, so make the play on Dallas.
