Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas head back out on the road having failed to make the most of home advantage over the past two games, leaving the series locked at 2-2.

The Mavericks ended the regular season with a 50-32 record, earning them fifth place in the Western Conference standings.

They won seven of the final 10 games to enter the postseason in good form, but made a losing start o this series as they were beaten 109-97 in LA.

Dallas responded with a 96-93 win on the road, and then returned home to take 2-1 series lead thanks to a 101-90 victory.

The Mavericks failed to make it three wins in a row though, as they fell to a 116-111 home defeat on Sunday night.

LA Clippers Form

LA return home on the back of an important road win that levelled up this playoff series at two wins apiece.

The Clippers finished the regular season with a 51-31 record, claiming fourth place in the Western Conference standings.

They lost their final three games of the regular season, all at home, but stopped the rot in their postseason opener a sthey beat Dallas 109-97.

LA failed to back that up in the second meeting, losing 96-93, and then found themselves 2-1 down in the series when they lost 101-90 in Dallas.

The Clippers avoided a third consecutive defeat however, hauling themselves right back into this series with a 116-111 road win in Game 4.

Verdict

It is a rare occurrence when these two teams meet and the over cashes.

More often than not it is a defensive struggle, and with so much riding on Game 5 we expect a tight, low-scoring contest.
