LeBron James and Luka Doncic prepare for another huge team carry job on Christmas Day as the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Dallas Mavericks.
Coming off a 50-point performance on Friday, Luka Doncic leads the Dallas Mavericks into a Christmas Day showcase on Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers.
Davis has not appeared since playing just 17:27 in and missing the second half of the Lakers’ Dec. 16 win over Western Conference-leading Denver, however. On Friday, the organization issued a statement that Davis sustained a stress injury to his right foot that will sideline him indefinitely. Bryant’s streak of games with double-digit points ended at four in Friday’s 134-130 loss to Charlotte, which sends the Lakers limping into Sunday’s matchup on a three-game losing streak. This is Los Angeles’ fourth skid of at least three games this season as the Lakers slipped six games below .500.
The Dallas defense — ranked in the upper echelon of the NBA at 109.4 points per game — comes in holding four of its last six opponents to 106 points or fewer. The Mavericks are just 3-3 in that stretch, however.
