Lakers vs. Mavericks: Lineups, injury reports and broadcast info for Thursday

Here’s all you need to know ahead of Thursday’s Lakers versus Mavericks game.

The Los Angeles Lakers play the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

After two full days off, Los Angeles returns to the court looking to regain the momentum that was halted by Monday’s 122-109 loss to the Denver Nuggets. LeBron James didn’t play in that game due to ankle soreness.

The Mavs are in fifth place in the Western Conference with a 23-19 record, and although he doesn’t have a lot of help around him, Luka Doncic is on a tear. He’s averaging 34.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game as he’s single-handedly carrying his team toward the playoffs again.

These two teams met on Christmas Day; Dallas won easily, 124-115.
