Dallas Mavericks vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Dallas Mavericks aren’t giving their key players much run in the preseason, and it’s kind of expected given they just made the NBA finals. Quick turnaround and the Mavs know what they have for the most part. The LA Clippers have been fabulous defensively through a handful of preseason games, and some of their key rotation players are logging decent minutes. Assuming these trends continue, the Clippers and the small chalk has to be the play. Can’t back the Mavs if they’re going to continue to throw out end of roster guys for much of the game.
