Dallas Mavericks vs LA Clippers Prediction

It’s not easy to beat the same team back-to-back nights, and the Mavs are still fighting for their playoff lives, so they’re going to play hard. However, the Clippers had their way with the Mavs last night, and unless AD, Lively, and others return, it should be more of the same. At the time of this writing, those guys are questionable. The Clippers are 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games, and they need to keep winning in hopes of getting out of the play-in tournament. It’s a back-to-back, so don’t expect Kawhi, but the Clippers still have enough, especially if the Mavs are so short-handed. I’ll lay the points.
