Clippers Mavericks player picks and predictions
prediction
Mavericks 107, Clippers 105
money line
bet on the mavericks (-140).
LA didn't do anything special in their Game 1 win, it just looked like the Clippers' shots were falling while Dallas' shots weren't. I don't expect that to happen in back-to-back games, and I don't expect Harden and Zubac to carry the Clippers on their backs again.
LA may not yet have their best player in Leonard, which automatically makes the Mavericks the safer bet.
against proliferation
Lean Clipper +2.5 (-110).
Los Angeles has covered the spread in each of its last three games against Dallas and is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games. The Clippers are also 3-1 ATS in their last four games played in Los Angeles.
This isn't a waste as the Clippers are only 1-3 ATS in their last four games.
over/under
Bet below 217.5 (-110).
Under is on a four-game hitting streak with the Mavericks and is 7-3 in his last 10 games.
Los Angeles' under has hit in 3 consecutive games and has 4 wins and 1 loss in his last 5 games.
The under has hit in the last three games between Dallas and Los Angeles and is 8-2 in the last 10 games.
I expect the Clippers to get significantly less offense from Harden and Zubac in this game, so the under would be an even safer bet.
