The most awaited matchup of the NBA will be underway on February 25, 2025. With the Crypto.com arena buzzing to the fullest, the likes of Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic will be clashing for the first time! A sight that seemed to be quite far-fetched just a month back. As the blockbuster deal sent shockwaves throughout the NBA realm, fans had been waiting for the high-profile matchup to take place. However, the match will be losing a bit of its flair as Anthony Davis will likely not be playing due to injury concerns. Nonetheless, it will surely be a banger.

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks: Prediction

Luka Doncic had been quite timid in his first three matches in purple and gold. However, he came into his element as the Lakers recently faced off against the Denver Nuggets. Tackling the impending threat of Nikola Jokic looming large, the Lakers saw a Luka Doncic special. Dropping 32 points, seven assists, and 10 rebounds, Doncic had one of the best games for the Lakers. As LeBron James and co. Clinched a 123-100 victory, JJ Redick’s team has now gone up to the 4th place in the West.

On the contrary, the Mavericks are struggling significantly with Luka Doncic’s absence. Lingering at the 8th position, Irving and co. only has 31 wins and 27 losses to show for. Thus, the Mavs will surely come hard at the Lakers in a last-ditch attempt to rake up some consecutive victories. Moreover, they might just also have the extra zeal to prove that they can perform well without Luka Doncic as well.

  • Luka Doncic
  • Austin Reaves
  • LeBron James
  • Rui Hachimura
