That could make Dinwiddie's influence on the series all the more impactful. The Mavericks could also use some help from the bigs, and were pleased when Dwight Powell responded as of late. Also, Dorian Finney-Smith has averaged almost 14 points since February. Three things to watch1. Will Luka Doncic be too much to handle or will his absence (for Game 1 and possibly longer) prove pivotal? The All-Star just put together an MVP-worthy season by leading the Mavericks in scoring, assists, rebounds (which was especially impressive, at 9. 1) and steals, ranking among the league leaders in all categories.
When they're efficient, they're tough to beat. When they're misfiring, the Jazz become unglued only because they lack the personnel and a system for a Plan B (no interior scoring, few players who can hit mid-range jumpers). Number to know9. 4 - Luka Doncic averaged 9. 4 minutes of possession per game, the second-highest average for any player in nine seasons of player tracking. Doncic ranked second in the league in usage rate (a career-high 36.

Mavericks vs Lakers prediction: How to watch NBA live? Mavericks vs Lakers h2h, previewThe Los Angeles Lakers will go up against the Dallas Mavericks in a regular-season match of the NBA 2020-21 season. The encounter has been scheduled for 7:00 AM IST, April 23 from the American Airlines Center, Texas (8:30 PM, April 22, local time). Here is our Mavericks vs Lakers prediction, head to head details for the match and the live streaming details. Mavericks vs Lakers: Match preview Coming into this game having failed to sustain a winning streak all month, and with a 111-97 loss against the Utah Jazz in their last game, the LA Lakers will be looking to get back on the winning path this Friday. Playing against an opposition that has proven to be less of a challenge for them over the years and with Anthony Davis possibly rejoining the squad, the defending champions will hope to get some useful points out of this match.
Coach Quin Snyder pleaded for outsiders to refrain from breaking them apart, as if fans and media actually hold such power. In any event, winning cures all, and the best way to squelch all speculation is by winning a round or two and keep it moving. 3. What if Utah's 3-point shots don't fall? This has always been an issue with the Jazz, who rely on the long-ball more than most teams.
He also is masterful in exploiting isolation mismatches, and in the past, Dallas created switches to put Doncic on Rudy Gobert. Ordinarily this sounds insane, given Gobert's defense, but the crafty Luka won those battles. Doncic, though, is dealing with a calf injury which will keep him out of Game 1 and maybe Game 2 and the Mavericks have an 8-9 record without the Slovenian this season but have won the last four games he's missed - albeit against lottery teams in Sacramento (twice) and Houston (twice). 2. Can Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell get along? The two All-Stars are saying all the right things, but there seems to be smoke if not fire between them, just going by body language (from Mitchell when Gobert fumbles a pass, from Gobert when he doesn't get touches).
