Luka Doncic will be ready to play his first match in Dallas since his blockbuster trade to Los Angeles. The short-handed Mavericks will lock horns against the Lakers in a highly-anticipated clash of the season. It will be the first time Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic both will play against each other since their trade in February. Davis missed out both teams’ previous meeting in L.A. due to injury.

The equation is pretty clear for both sides ahead of the NBA playoffs. The Lakers suffered a 136-120 defeat to the Thunder on Tuesday and they still need a win to clinch playoffs. On the other hand, the Suns’ defeat to the Warriors offered a chance for Dallas. The Mavs are still in the race for the Play-In Tournament and a win can assure their qualification.

Ahead of the crucial tie in American Airlines Center, let’s quick go through the injury report for both teams and its impact on their performance.
