LA Clippers at Dallas Mavericks Preview & Picks

LA are backed to cover as an underdog in their first road game of the series.

The Clippers dropped Game 2, but it was by a narrow margin and they have had a healthy knack for covering against Dallas in recent seasons.

  • LA Clippers are 3-1 in the last 4 meetings
  • LA Clippers are 7-3-0 ATS in the last 10 meetings
  • The Under has cashed in 9 of the last 10 meetings
  • The Under has hit in 9 of Dallas’ last 12 games

Head To Head

  • Dallas Mavericks lead the all-time series 101-74
  • This NBA Playoff series is tied 1-1
  • Dallas Mavericks won 96-93 when the two teams last met on April 23

LA Clippers Form

LA head out on the road looking to bounce back from a home defeat that knotted up the series ahead of Game 3.

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

They ended the regular season on a losing run though, as they dropped three consecutive outings at Crypto.com Arena.

LA snapped that losing skid by drawing first blood in this playoff series with Dallas, winning 109-97 in Game 1.

However, the Clippers failed to follow that up in the next meeting, as they were stifled offensively in a 96-93 defeat.

Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas return home with the opportunity to get ahead in the series for the first time after a big road win.

The Mavericks finished the regular season as the fifth-placed team in the Western Conference, having compiled a 50-32 record.

They won seven of the final 10 games on the schedule, but came into the postseason on the back of a couple of defeats that closed out the regular season.

That became three defeats in a row for Dallas as they opened this playoff series with a 109-97 defeat at the LA Clippers.

The Mavericks avoided a fourth consecutive defeat though, as a strong defensive effort from Luka Doncic guided them to a 96-93 victory.

Verdict

LA lost the second game of this series, but it was by a small margin.

The Clippers have consistently covered in recent meetings with Dallas, so we are taking them and the points here.
