Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

Luka Doncic faces his former team for the first time on Tuesday night when the Dallas Mavericks visit the Los Angeles Lakers.

Doncic, a five-time All-Star, five-time first-team All-NBA honoree and the 2018/19 Rookie of the Year, was thought to have been the future of the Mavericks franchise from the time they acquired him during the 2018 NBA Draft up until the day he was traded from Dallas to LA.

The Lakers sent 10-time All-Star and 31-year-old power forward/center Anthony Davis to Dallas, along with a future first-round pick and sharp-shooting guard Max Christie, in exchange for Doncic. Davis got injured in his first game with Dallas and has not played since.
