Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks Game Preview:
Sunday’s game marks the fourth meeting of the regular season between the two teams. The Lakers have won each of the first three contests.
The Lakers have officially clinched a playoff spot and earned their second straight Pacific Division title. They’ve been one of the best teams in the league over the last five weeks, going 16-3 in their last 19 games.
“There are a million different forms of leadership, and every guy has their own responsibility to lead in whatever way they can. Whether it’s [Marcus] Smart defensively, LeBron making hustle plays, or Jake [LaRavia] with his physicality. That’s leadership, said Lakers’ head coach JJ Redick. “Our team right now is the reason that we’re winning. Our team – because each guy has contributed to winning.”

For the third time in the last four seasons, the Mavericks have been eliminated from playoff contention. The team has surpassed 50 losses for the first time since the 2017-2018 season.
Despite the disappointing season, Cooper Flagg — the No. 1 pick in 2025 — remains among the favorites for Rookie of the Year. The 19-year-old leads the Mavericks in total points, rebounds, assists, and steals.
