Dallas Mavericks vs LA Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are still fighting for play-in seeding and need wins to at least keep the ninth spot. The Mavs have nothing to play for and that’s why this line is what it is. However, the Mavs are still playing hard and Flagg is playing for a Rookie of the Year award and has gone crazy these last couple of weeks. The Mavs took the Clippers to overtime a couple of weeks ago and beat them back in November. Just throwing out this number like the Mavs have rolled over and died is dangerous. Give me the points. These NBA inflated lines are nuts.
