Mavericks at Lakers odds, how to watch, predictions

The Dallas Mavericks are coming off one of their best wins of the season as they face the Los Angeles Lakers at the Crypto.com Arena on March 1. Superstar Luka Doncic has struggled against his idol LeBron James as the Mavs have won just three of the 11 meetings since number 77 entered the league.

The Lakers have allowed the opposition to score 115 or more points in four of their last seven contests, and they have no answers for stopping Luka Doncic.
