LA Clippers Form

LA head back out on the road looking to avoid a defeat that would bring an end to their 2023/24 season.

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

They lost their final three games, but made a strong start to the postseason as they beat Dallas 109-97 in the opening game of this series.

LA failed to build on that though, as they followed up a 96-93 home defeat to the Mavericks with a 101-90 defeat on the road.

The Clippers knotted up the series with a 116-111 road win in Game 4, but they again failed to back up a victory as they were blown out at home in Game 5, losing 123-93.

Dallas Mavericks Form

Dallas head back home with the chance to clinch this playoff series after scoring a big road win in Game 5.

The Mavericks finished the regular season with a 50-32 record, clinching fifth place in the Western Conference standings.

They won seven of the final 10 games too, but they made a losing start to this postseason series as they suffered a 109-97 defeat in LA.

Dallas bounced back quickly, winning 96-93 win on the road, and they then took their opening home game of the series, winning 101-90.

The Mavericks failed to make it three wins in a row, as they lost 116-111 at home in Game 4, but they issued an immediate response on Wednesday as they stormed to a 123-93 victory in LA.

Verdict

Dallas are back in control of the series and we are backing them to clinch at home.

History points to the Mavericks advancing after winning Game 5 and the winner has covered consistently in recent meetings.
