Bruce’s Analysis:
The reported return of Anthony Davis to the Mavs lineup adds some extra sauce to this matchup so the two key pieces in last winter’s mega-trade (Davis and Luka Doncic) will both be on the floor.
Not sure how much Davis, who last played on October 29 before his calf injury, is going to help 5-14 Dallas, which has had a rocky first month-plus both on and off the court and still not full-strength with Kyrie Irving remaining sidelined and Dereck Lively also expected to miss tonight. It’s all different for the Lake Show, in a celebratory 5-game win streak at the moment with Doncic (43 more points vs. the Clips on Tuesday) on fire and LeBron now back to active duty. Play Lakers
