How to stop Luka Doncic is Darvin Ham's tonight mission to get a Lakers win

The Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic missed 3 games but is returning tonight on the court to face the Los Angeles Lakers so when asked about preparing the game with that return in mind he answered that they did.

It's a common trend for the Lakers, when any rival is going to face them and has been missing their stars and best players for other games, they usually return against the purple and gold, and Luka Doncic is no exception.

When asked, Ham did say they kinda knew that Luka was going to make a return and they prepared the game with that in mind. But Darvin also spoke before the game on how they were going to repeat last's game starting lineup.

The reason for the D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, LeBron James, Taurean Prince, and Anthony Davis lineup is that Darvin wants to have the best team's shooters alongside his best stars.

Anthony Davis knows tonight's game vs. Dallas is a must-win

Davis believes a win like that could contribute toward the momentum of the Lakers. “By building off this win. We have another team coming in on Wednesday, no matter who is playing, they’ve been a dominant team. Luka has been out a couple of games but I think Tim [Hardaway Jr.] had 42 and Kyrie [Irving] had 41 or something like that tonight. “But like I said, I think it starts with us defensively to make that push. When we’re defensive-minded and show what we can do defensively on the floor, we tend to win those games.”
