The Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest. The Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. The over is 4-1 in Clippers last 5 overall. The under is 8-2 in Mavericks last 10 overall. The Clippers are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Dallas and 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings.
The Los Angeles Clippers just beat the Mavericks on Monday and are the better team here overall, but they're also a club that's hard to figure out and you never know who is going to play from game to game. The Dallas Mavericks are still playing their best ball of the season, which includes winning their last five games by an average of three points while allowing 43 percent shooting from the field. It's not easy to beat a good team twice in three days. Give me the free bucket with the Mavs at home.
