The Los Angeles Lakers play the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers’ annual Christmas Day game has them traveling to Texas to take on Luka Doncic’s crew. The Mavs are 17-16 and in eighth place in the Western Conference, as they’re looking to somehow build on last season’s unexpected success that had them defeating the top-seeded Phoenix Suns on the road by 33 points in Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs.
Los Angeles has lost three games in a row and is reeling without Anthony Davis, who is out with a stress injury in his foot. LeBron James and company have fallen apart defensively. They have given up at least 130 points in each of their most recent three losses.
