Christmas Day has become one of the notable days in the NBA’s calendar, with a host of games running throughout the day.
In the second matchup of the holiday, the Lakers will take on the Mavericks in a spot where both teams could badly use a win.
After building some positive momentum on the season, the Lakers have regressed back to where they started and are now 13-19 and 13th in the Western Conference. It will be a long road into the playoffs.
Dallas currently sits in eighth in the West, but that wasn’t the goal coming into the year for the Mavericks. They’ll be looking to kickstart their 2023 run with a quality showing in this Christmas Day game.

Lakers vs. Mavericks Picks
The Action Network’s NBA PRO Report has identified two ways of playing this game.
In terms of the spread, the Lakers are the team that has gotten the sharp action. There is a near 50/50 split in terms of betting tickets between the two teams, but the sharps like the number of points that they’re getting with Los Angeles.
On the over/under, sharp bettors are blasting the over, which has resulted in a multiple-point swing up from the opening number.
The best available price on the spread can be found at FanDuel, which is holding the eight-point number as well as a number of other books.
Similarly, a host of sportsbooks have this number at 230, though it can still be found at 229.5 at some books, such as at PointsBet.
