The Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers will face off on Tuesday night for the first time since the big Luka Dončić and Anthony Davis trade. Both teams are looking for a strong finish to the season.
Luka Dončić has played four games for the Lakers since the trade. He’s been adjusting to his new team, averaging 19 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game. However, his shooting has been off, hitting only 39% of his shots. The Lakers have won 2 games and lost 2 with Dončić on the team. His best performance came in a win over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.
Anthony Davis played only one game for the Mavericks before getting injured. In that game, he scored 26 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. But he is out with an adductor strain and hasn’t played since.
