Hari Natal adalah salah satu momen terbesar dalam kalender NBA, dengan rangkaian permainan lengkap untuk menghibur Anda saat Anda menghabiskan waktu bersama keluarga dan memperebutkan siapa yang mendapat potongan kue terakhir. Pada pertandingan kedua hari itu Los Angeles Lakers akan menuju ke Texas untuk menghadapi Dallas Mavericks, yang akan menampilkan dua bintang liga terbesar. LeBron James dan Luka Doncic akan berhadapan dalam pertarungan yang telah kehilangan kilau sejak liga mengumumkan jadwal pertandingan Natal, dan kami harus disalahkan karena cedera itu. Anthony Davis akan absen untuk Lakers setelah menderita cedera kaki yang diperkirakan akan membuatnya absen selama sebulan, sementara Dallas berurusan dengan beberapa pemain peran yang cedera.
Tapi pertunjukan harus terus berlanjut, dan sementara beberapa pemain kunci tidak cocok, permainan ini masih memiliki beberapa intrik karena kedua regu sedang berjuang di awal musim yang lamban dan ingin naik ke klasemen Wilayah Barat. Pada 17-16 Mavericks duduk di urutan kedelapan di Barat dengan hanya satu pertandingan yang memisahkan mereka dan tempat No. 6 yang akan membuat mereka keluar dari babak play-in untuk playoff. Lakers di sisi lain memiliki beberapa pekerjaan yang harus dilakukan, dengan rekor 13-19, menempatkan mereka di urutan ke-13 di Barat dan 2,5 game di belakang tempat ke-10 dalam play-in. Kedua tim bisa memanfaatkan kemenangan ini, dan tidak ada yang mau kalah di hari Natal, jadi kita harus mendapatkan pertarungan yang menghibur.

Game Unggulan | Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers
Jalan cerita
Lakers: Tidak memiliki Davis merupakan pukulan besar bagi Lakers dalam pertarungan ini, yang berarti semuanya akan jatuh ke pundak James, yang tidak hanya perlu menambah poin, tetapi juga melibatkan rekan satu timnya untuk memiliki serangan ofensif yang seimbang. Kami telah melihat dalam kekalahan LA dari Kings pada hari Rabu bahwa pemain lain mampu meningkatkan dan mencetak gol, karena kelima pemain starter mencetak dua digit, dan itu perlu terjadi lagi agar Lakers mengimbangi tim Dallas yang peringkatnya di 10 besar dalam pelanggaran.
Maverick: Hingga saat ini musim Dallas agak mengecewakan mengingat tim ini berhasil mencapai final konferensi musim lalu. Rekor mereka berada di sekitar 0,500, yang tidak mengherankan mengingat rata-rata mereka berdasarkan game-to-game. Doncic tampil di level MVP (dan baru saja mencetak 50 poin melawan Rockets), tetapi tidak jarang melihat skor kotak dari permainan Mavericks dan melihat dua atau tiga starter lainnya menyumbangkan gabungan 15 poin di antara mereka. Meskipun Lakers tanpa bintang kedua mereka, Mavericks tidak dapat menganggap enteng tim ini, dan orang-orang seperti Spencer Dinwiddie, Christian Wood, dan Tim Hardaway Jr. memenangkan permainan ini.
Ramalan
Ketika pertarungan ini diumumkan, saya akan memilih Mavericks dengan mudah mengingat kinerja mereka di babak playoff tahun lalu dan Lakers tidak melakukan apa pun di akhir musim untuk menjamin kepercayaan apa pun pada mereka. Saya masih memilih Dallas untuk menang, tetapi dalam urusan yang lebih dekat bahkan tanpa Davis berbaris untuk Lakers. Pilihannya: Mavericks
