The Dallas Mavericks come off a 100 - 93 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers Sunday nights improving their NBA record to 41-24. The Mavs currently hold 6th seed in the stingy western conference where teams need to win nearly 60% of their games to be even in the playoff picture. The return of Chandler Parsons will clearly aid to their objective of making a substantial playoff run. Parsons missed seven games with an ankle injury Sunday night and was able to produce 11 points on 5-11 shooting from the field. His teammate Monte Ellis went off for 31 points and shot 50% from the field to rally the Mavs to an expected win over the struggling Lakers. After a night of rest they'll be looking to head home to American Airlines Arena and make a statement against the eastern conference contender Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers produced a few highlights in their latest match-up win over the Phoenix Suns Saturday night at the Quicken Loans Arena. LeBron James finished the game with just 17 points and 8 assist, a clear contribution to the 10 point edge the Cavaliers were able to render. With both the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors in a late season slump, the Cavaliers are hoping to seize 2nd place in the Eastern Conference. They'll face an offensive powerhouse in Dallas tonight and will need to show a bit of defensive intensity to pull this win out on the road. Tune in tonight at 8:30 p.m. E.T on NBA TV to see who will prevail. THE BIRTH LLC Supports the NBA.
