Back in February, the NBA world was shocked when superstar Luka Doncic was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers. Now, for the first time, Luka will return to Dallas in the first game of tonight’s doubleheader on ESPN.
The Mavs are sitting at the 10th spot in the Western Conference at 38-41 and look to keep the momentum to secure a Play-in Tournament spot. For the Lakers, at 48-31, they are 3rd in the conference and led by the duo of Lebron James and Doncic; they look to stay afloat with a victory. In the late game, NBA MVP favorite Nikola Jokic and the 47-32 Denver Nuggets travel to take on the 39-40 Sacramento Kings. The Nuggets are 5th in the West, and the Kings are 9th, as the regular season comes to a close soon. Notably, the Nuggets are playing their first game after firing their head coach of 10 years, Michael Malone on Tuesday.
