The Los Angeles Lakers look to continue to defy the odds and make it four wins in a row when they take on the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night. Most didn’t expect Los Angeles to have this kind of success so early in the season, but as a young team they are still prone to inconsistency, and it’s going to take a great deal of focus for them to pull off the win against Dallas.
The Lakers will be without Larry Nance Jr., who will miss the game due to a concussion, while the Mavs will miss injured veterans Dirk Nowitzki and Deron Williams. Despite missing key players, both teams are dangerous and have the ability to get the win, which means that we should be in for a fun one.
