Anthony Davis is set to face the Lakers for the first time since his transfer.
The Dallas Mavericks lost 104-135 to the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2024-2025 NBA regular season at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on the 6th (Korea Standard Time).
Dallas lost all of its series against the Clippers on the road. Both games were heavily defeated by more than 20 points.
Even though Anthony Davis played in his second game, he failed to prevent his team from losing. Davis scored 27 points and nine rebounds, respectively, the most in his team, but he couldn't laugh as his team was unilaterally pushed back.
Despite losing consecutive games, Dallas cannot afford to remain disappointed. It is still fiercely competing with Sacramento and Phoenix to advance to the play-in tournament. It is ninth in the West, 2.0 games ahead of 11th in the West, but if it continues to lose consecutive games, it could also lead to a reversal.
Meanwhile, Dallas is set to have a showdown that will draw keen attention. The next team will be the Lakers. Two months ago, they made an extraordinary decision to trade the mega-tone superstar named Anthony Davis and Luca Doncic with the Lakers.
The game between Dallas and the Lakers on the 10th will be the first time Doncic, the face of the Mavericks, will visit his home and the first time Davis will face the Lakers after moving his team. 온라인카지노
Davis missed the Feb. 26 game at home to the Lakers due to injury. This will be his first showdown with his former team, which even experienced his first career championship.
Although it could be a special match-up given the urgent team situation or personal relationship, Davis maintains his calmness. Both teams are competing fiercely until the last minute to see if they can suppress their personal feelings as much as possible and focus on winning the team.
Davis responded calmly to a question about his feelings ahead of the game against the Lakers in an interview after the Clippers game, saying, "I don't feel anything."
Although the game weighs more on the Lakers than Dallas, which has a lot of leaks in the aftermath of power injuries, Dallas has a clear strength over the Lakers on the inside. Along with Davis, the weight of the frontcourt has changed significantly with the recent return of Derek Lively II, Daniel Gafford and PJ Washington.
If you take advantage of those advantages, you will be even lower in the rankings, but there is no rule that Dallas should not win. Who will smile between Davis and Doncic, who will face off on the same court for the first time since the transfer?
