The Mavs are really working early (and successfully) to get Bradley switched onto Porzingis, and screw up the Laker defense recovering from that. AK – 7:51 PM

Lakers starters at Dallas:
Westbrook, Bradley, Ellington, LeBron and AD.
Ellington has played only 9 minutes this season alongside Westbrook, LeBron and AD. Will be interesting to get the benefit of his spacing, and see how he defends in that group. – 7:00 PM
