The Los Angeles Lakers try to mark Christmas Day with their first win of the new NBA season against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, December 25 (Saturday, December 26, Manila time).
Coming off a loss to rivals Los Angeles Clippers, the Lakers aim to crack the win column and keep the Mavericks, who opened their season with a defeat to the Phoenix Suns, winless.
Lakers star LeBron James, who has 9 wins on Christmas Day games, can tie former teammate Dwyane Wade for all-time wins in holiday contests. (READ: LeBron on verge of passing Kobe for NBA Christmas record)
