Mavericks at Clippers picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 118, Clippers 113

Moneyline

With the Clippers playing the 2nd leg of a back-to-back, I'll side with the MAVERICKS (-140) in Saturday's matchup. Dallas will have 2 days of rest entering the game, and it possesses a solid 6-3 record on the road this season.

Against the spread

MAVERICKS -2.5 (-105) may have more value than taking the moneyline as there's a decent chance if Dallas wins, it is by at least 3 points. The Mavericks are the better team, and it's not a guarantee that all 3 of F Kawhi Leonard, F Paul George, and G James Harden are active on a back-to-back.

Dallas is 6-3 ATS in its 9 road games this season. On the other side of the court, Los Angeles is 0-3 ATS in its last 3 home games.

BET MAVERICKS -2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings, making UNDER 234.5 (-105) the ideal play in this contest despite 270 points being scored when these teams met Nov. 10.

While Doncic loves playing against the Clippers, Los Angeles is 2-8 to the Over in its last 10 games overall.

BET UNDER 234.5 (-105).
