LA Clippers @ Dallas Mavericks NBA betting preview

The Los Angeles Clippers head to the Big D to face the Dallas Mavericks in the lone game on the NBA 2019-20 schedule on Tuesday night.

The Clippers have won three in a row and five of their last six games, and they have the second-most wins in the NBA Western Conference. They are a balanced team and while ranking a solid fourth in the league in scoring (116.2 ppg), their offense has been red-hot in their three-game win streak with an average of 127.7 points per game.

After losing two in a row, the Mavericks have won their last four games to sit fifth in NBA West. After missing 10 games with a knee injury, second-leading scorer Kristaps Porzingis (17.3 ppg) is expected to play against the Clippers. However, the second-leading scorer for LA, Paul George (23.5 ppg), is out for this game with a hamstring injury.

In LA’s last game they beat the New Orleans Pelicans 133-130 on the road. They shot a lower field goal percentage (49.5% – 53.5%) than the Pelicans but forced 21 turnovers and also outscored them by 11 points in the fourth quarter.

Kawhi Leonard led the way with 39 points against New Orleans, while Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell came off the bench to combine for 56 points. They are both averaging over 19 points per game on the season and Leonard is going at 36 points per game in his last five outings.

In the Mavericks’ last game they beat the Portland Trail Blazers 120-112 at home. They shot a much lower overall field goal percentage than Portland (43.8% – 51.8%) but had five more offensive rebounds and shot the three well, hitting 20 of their 47 three-pointers. Luka Doncic went for 35 points, eight rebounds and seven assists, while Tim Hardaway Jr. had 29 points.

Doncic is an early MVP candidate and is averaging nearly a triple-double (28.9 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 9 apg). In the game before the win over Portland he ‘only’ scored 25 points but had 15 rebounds and 17 assists. Hardaway Jr. (14.4 ppg) has stepped up in the scoring department with Porzingis out and has totaled 47 points in his last two games.

In the lone matchup this season between these teams, which was in Dallas, the Clippers beat the Mavericks 114-99. In that game the Mavericks only shot 38% from the floor and Doncic was 4/14 from the field, missing all eight of his three-pointers.

The Clippers have won six of their last nine games facing the Mavericks. That said, LA are only 11-9 on the road this season.

Dallas Mavericks to win – best odds at Bovada
The Mavericks lost to the Clippers at home earlier this season and they will avenge that loss in this game. LA lost on the road the last time they faced a team with a winning record and that will happen again as Doncic leads the Mavericks to a home win.
