Premium Pick

Los Angeles is in double-revenge mode after losing the first two meetings this season by a combined five points. The Lakers played one of their finest games of the season defeating Oklahoma City 112-105 on Monday when Anthony Davis had 27 points and 15 rebounds and LeBron James added 25 points. The Lakers are 12-4 ATS as home favorites of 0.5-4.5 points. Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Dallas, which relied on two outstanding shooting performances to defeat New Orleans 125-120 on Monday. Kyrie Irving exploded for 42 points and Tim Hardaway Jr. poured in 41 points and no other scorer had more than 13. The Lakers can focus on defending those two if Doncic can't go. Dallas has just played seven home games in a row and this is its first road contest since New Year's Day when it lost by 37 points at Utah. Take the Lakers - Max Play
