The Dallas Mavericks' road trip got off to a challenging start as they were taken to double overtime in Denver on Friday night before finally prevailing, 144-143. Mavs' coach Rick Carlisle may be looking for a little less stress as he tries to rest up his team before the playoffs and may have found that in tonight's matchup against the Lakers. Los Angeles is just 5-17 since the beginning of March and all of those victories have come against teams well below .500.
