Lakers VS Mavericks Picks

Hollywood meets Texas in a battle between big market teams as the Lakers look to secure a win without Anthony Davis against the Mavericks who have struggled to find offensive production outside of their Slovenian Superstar.

The Lakers once again are bottom feeders in the Western Conference, losing all momentum gathered after losing their leading scorer AD to an ankle injury against the Denver Nuggets. With an aging LeBron trying his best to put on throwback performances and carry his squad to the Playoffs, wins have been scarce on this year’s LakeShow squad.

Also underperforming in terms of expectations set in the offseason this year, the Mavs season has solely relied on the output of Doncic to carry the load for his team. The Mavs rely on him to produce any resemblance of offensive success, while still being vulnerable defensively.

Both teams are desperate to capture a win on primetime as they look to gift themselves a rare victory on Christmas Day.

Moneyline Pick: Dallas Mavericks

Doncic is set to stuff the stat sheet against the Lakers, utilizing his elite skill set that’s second to none in the NBA. With nobody on the Lakers able to contain the versatile star, look for the Mavs to feed the rock to Doncic and score a Texas-sized victory at home.

While LeBron and the Lakers have shown some signs of life in recent weeks, they simply don’t have the depth to compete with the Mavericks. Even with Russell Westbrook seemingly finding a career resurgence coming off of the bench, the Mavs have several weapons that while inconsistent, can takeover a game in seconds.

Back the Mavericks to win the game at home, handling the Lakers and using their dominant defence to limit the top players of the Lakers.

Point Spread Pick: Los Angeles Lakers (+8.5)

While the Mavericks are our pick to secure the win on Christmas Day, don’t expect the Lakers to go down without a fight. Sporting one of the best overall offences in the NBA, the Lakers will put on a clash of styles with the Mavs and cause the score to remain close as a result.

With all eyes on them under the bright Christmas lights, the Lakers have several players with ample experience playing on a marquee day of the NBA schedule. You can never count out King James, who happens to be the All-Time scoring leader on Christmas Day in NBA history, and will look to keep his team within striking distance while building upon one of several historic records under his belt.

Back the Lakers to cover the spread and win you some bread on Christmas Day in the NBA.

Over/Under Pick: Over 230 Points

Back the stars to come out in style on this primetime affair, lighting up the scoreboard and easily hitting the Over early on in the game. Both sides have tremendous upside offensively, able to provide NBA fans with non-stop action any given night.

While the Mavs may not be a consistent offence, look for them to leave it all on the floor in this game, looking to put on a show for the Mavericks faithful on Christmas Day.

A major factor in the Over hitting will be the three-point shooting of the Mavs. Attempting the third-most attempts per game from behind the arc in the NBA, the Mavericks will be set to connect from deep repeatedly against a porous Lakers defence.

Bet the Over and grab the popcorn as we have a thriller on our hands this Christmas as the Lakers and Mavericks eclipse the Over and get you paid out as a winner.

Lakers VS Mavericks Player Prop Bets

A great way to bet on the NBA, player prop bets allow you to wager on the performances of the game’s top stars. Instead of sweating out the outcome of the game, enjoy the action and back your favourite player to score you some dough.

LeBron James Over 29.5 Points

The ageless wonder, LeBron James has been on an offensive tear as of late, once again carrying his team on his back in his efforts to secure his team a win. Having scored Over 29.5 points in six straight games, look for James to notch his seventh in a row against the Mavericks on Christmas Day.

The focal point of the Lakers offence without Anthony Davis in the lineup, King James will have the green light to fire at will in this marquee matchup, and will continue to build upon his impressive Christmas Day legacy. Back James to score over 29.5 points against the Mavs and watch your bankroll rise alongside his scoring total.

Luka Doncic Over 8.5 Assists

With every aspect of the Mavericks offence running through him, look for Luka Doncic to rack up plenty of assists in this high-scoring battle on Christmas Day.

Doncic is one of the top facilitators in the NBA, able to draw ample attention from opposing defences and kick it out to one of several reliable shooters on the outside. Averaging nine assists over his last four games, back Doncic to keep his incredible pace and hit Over 8.5 helpers against the Lakers.
