The Los Angeles Lakers face the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday evening in NBA preseason action, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, 113-104, and they will have two more preseason games in three days. Luka Doncic looked magnificent in his 2025-26 exhibition debut, but he isn’t expected to play on Wednesday, presumably out of an abundance of caution after he spent part of the summer representing his native Slovenia in EuroBasket 2025.

L.A. will see a few old friends in Mavericks players Anthony Davis, Max Christie and D’Angelo Russell. Davis and Christie were sent out in the February trade that brought Doncic to the Purple and Gold, while Russell was signed by the Mavs to fill in for Kyrie Irving, who is recovering from a torn ACL he suffered late last season.
