Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle during the NBA game at Staples Center on January 26, 2016 in Los Angeles, California.
Coming off their first win of the 2016 -17 regular season against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night, the Dallas Mavericks are aiming to make it back-to-back wins on Tuesday as they head to Los Angeles to take on the Lakers.
The Mavericks won all three contests against the Lakers last season and they could continue that winning streak tonight, but it won’t be an easy task with starters Dirk Nowitzki (Achillies) and Deron Williams (calf) out.
POLL:
Can the Dallas Mavericks make it two in a row tonight?
