Of Note

• Zaza Pachulia (sore Achilles) and Devin Harris (toe) are listed as doubtful. If Zaza sits expect Salah Mejri to get his second straight at center.
• This will be Kobe Bryant's final career games against the Mavs. In 60 career games against Dallas, Kobe has averaged 24.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists. His most memorable game came on Dec. 20, 2005 when he scored 62 points in 3 quarters.
• The Mavericks have won 9 straight against the Lakers, including 4 straight in LA.
• The Mavs are looking to avoid their first 3 game losing streak since dropping 3 in a row at Oklahoma City, Memphis and San Antonio from Nov. 22-25.
• A red hot Chandler Parsons has scored 30, 26 and 31 in the last 3 games, shooting at least 50% from the field and on threes in all three contests.
