THAN: Why does LeBron see himself in Luka
As you’d expect, Dallas isn’t quite the same team without their 22-year-old superstar. So far this season, the Mavs have a 2-4 record in Doncic’s absence, with two wins over the Thunder and the dwarf Hornets in the past week.
Kristaps Porzingis raised the bar for Dallas in his most recent win, which ended with 24 points, 13 rebounds and five blocks in 25 minutes. With Anthony Davis battling knee pain and Dwight Howard joining the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols, Porzingis has the opportunity to be a difference-maker on the field for the Mavs.
Up to this point in the season, both the Lakers (15-13) and Mavs (14-13) are hovering around the .500 mark. Fortunately for both Dallas and Los Angeles, there’s a lot going on in the Western Conference outside of its top three teams in the Suns, Warriors and Jazz.
Wednesday night is a chance for the Mavericks or Lakers to land a potentially huge win to pick up momentum as they gear up for their respective Christmas Day rollouts next weekend.
