LA Clippers at Dallas Mavericks Preview & Picks

Dallas are tipped to cover as they take a 3-1 lead in the series.

The Mavericks have issued a strong response to losing Game 1, putting the clamps on the Clippers, and Kawhi Leonard is still not back to his best.

  • Dallas Mavericks have won the last 2 meetings
  • Dallas Mavericks are 7-3-0 ATS in their last 10 games
  • The Under has cashed in 10 of the last 11 meetings
  • The Under has hit in 10 of Dallas’ last 13 games

Head To Head

  • Dallas Mavericks lead the all-time series 102-74
  • Dallas Mavericks lead this NBA Playoff series 2-1
  • Dallas Mavericks won 101-90 when the two teams last met on April 26

LA Clippers Form

LA head into their second straight game in Dallas looking to get back on track after going 2-1 down in the series.

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 two meeting, as they were stifled offensively in a 96-93 loss at home and a 101-90 defeat in Dallas.

Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas go into this game with the opportunity to take a 3-1 lead in the series before heading back to Los Angeles.

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 have got back on track over the last couple of games though, winning 96-93 on the road before returning home to down the Clippers 101-90.

Verdict

Dallas have taken control of this series, and they have done it with dominant defense.

So with Clippers star Kawhi Leonard clearly not 100%, we are backing the Mavericks to get the job done at home.
