The Lakers dropped a tough one to the Mavs, committing 16 turnovers on Thursday. The Mavs will be playing their third game in four nights. The Lakers are 11-3 straight up after allowing 115 or more points this season. Frank Vogel has been excellent in same-season revenge games. Take the Lakers.
I never thought I would say this, but the Lakers were better on Thursday night when Anthony Davis was not on the floor. He really struggled, going 2 of 10 from the field and he even missed two free throws. But if you are Frank Vogel, to win an NBA title, obviously you're going to need a healthy Anthony Davis. Game two for Davis will be much improved, and the line has dropped from 3.5 in the first game in this series to 2.5 in this spot. The Mavericks were fortunate to cover against the Lakers in game one of this series. I love the Lakers in this spot. There is a revenge factor for them as well.
