LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Devesh Jaganath in NBA Predictions
The Dallas Mavericks and the Los Angeles Clippers will face off in the opening round of the NBA playoffs, with Game 5 coming up at the Crypto.com Arena on Wednesday night. The seris is currently tied 2-2.
Dallas is heading back on the road for Game 5, knowing they missed a significant opportunity in their last outing. Despite holding a 2-1 series lead and playing at home, the Mavericks couldn't seal the deal, allowing the Clippers to level the series at 2-2. They'll aim to regain the series lead after narrowly losing to the Clippers 116-111 in Game 4, where Kyrie Irving shone with 40 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, while Luka Doncic recorded a triple-double with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. Throughout the season, the Mavericks have showcased their offensive prowess, averaging 117.9 points per game with a 48.1% field goal percentage. They've excelled from beyond the arc, averaging 14.6 three-pointers per game at a rate of 36.9%. Keeping an eye on Luka Doncic's injury status has been crucial. Mavericks coach Jason Kidd informed reporters after Tuesday's practice that Doncic is likely to play in Game 5 in Los Angeles, although his injury has been reclassified from "right knee soreness" to a "right knee sprain."
After falling behind 2-1 in the series, the Clippers faced immense pressure heading into Game 4. A loss would have all but sealed their fate, but despite nearly squandering a significant lead, they managed to pull through and now return home with momentum on their side. A victory on Wednesday would give them a crucial advantage in the series, and despite their inconsistent home record this season, they'll be confident in their chances. In Game 4, Paul George led the charge with 33 points, six rebounds, eight assists, and four steals, while James Harden heated up late to finish with 33 points and seven assists on an efficient 12 of 17 shooting. The Clippers have been averaging 115.6 points per game with a solid field goal percentage of 48.9%. Their three-point shooting has been accurate at 38.1%, making an average of 12.6 threes per game, showcasing their ability to compete effectively from long range. Similar to their opponent, the Clippers have also been grappling with injuries, particularly concerning Kawhi Leonard, who has been ruled out for this matchup.
