Back in February, Dallas shocked the NBA with the surprise trade of their superstar Luka Doncic to Los Angeles. And now, the Slovenian-born basketball player will get his revenge when the No. 3-seed L.A. Lakers battle the No. 10-seed Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, April 9.
The Lakers are fighting for positioning in the playoffs, while the Mavericks have fallen off a cliff since the big trade, as the team is holding on to the final spot in the play-in tournament at the end of the season. Meanwhile, the Lakers have the edge over Mavs in tonight’s game.

L.A. Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks Date, Start Time, Location

L.A. Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks Predictions
With top records in the NBA’s Western Conference, the L.A. Lakers enter the matchup as the clear favorites. As for this writing, the Lakers have the third seed in the west with ambitions for snagging the second seed — especially after adding Luka Doncic to the team.
Meanwhile, Mavs, who currently have the tenth seed in the west, have been on a steep decline since trading Luka with a number of injuries and bad basketball. Dallas traded Doncic for Anthony Davis, who is listed as probable with a left adductor strain for tonight’s game. The Mavs are looking for a win to stay in the play-in picture, but if the team keeps losing, they can be a lottery team.
Either way, it should be one unforgettable game between Lakers and Mavericks, since Luka is looking for revenge on his former-home court in Dallas.
