The Lakers will head into their Sunday afternoon game with a 38-22 record and are looking to make a late push for home-court advantage in the playoffs. The Mavericks are 34-26 and are riding a three-game winning streak, but they have been unable to defeat the Lakers this season in three games and the Lakers are 3-1 without Bryant, so their chances of winning still aren't terrible.
