The Los Angeles Lakers host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
After losing to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, Los Angeles faces a critical game versus the Mavs. They’re one game ahead of Anthony Davis and company in the standings in eighth place in the Western Conference, so this is a game the Lakers definitely need to win to keep their hopes of bypassing the play-in tournament alive.
While L.A. has won nine of its last 14 games, Dallas’ record in that same span has been the reverse. It is 5-9 despite the addition of Kyrie Irving. The team will be short-handed, as it will be without Luka Doncic and possibly Irving and Tim Hardaway Jr.
