The Dallas Mavericks will travel to the Intuit Dome to face the Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA on Saturday night. The Clippers (45-32) are seventh in the Western Conference, while the Mavs (38-40) are ninth. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Los Angeles Clippers will enter this match with bags of confidence after recording a convincing 114-91 victory over this opponent at this venue last night. 

While Kawhi Leonard top-scored for LA with 20 points, the win was largely attributable to a solid defensive performance from the off. They restricted the Mavs to 16 points in the first quarter and controlled the game to the final buzzer.

That result marked the Clippers' fourth win in a row, and they are now up to fourth on the defensive end, averaging 108.0 PPG against, while scoring 112.2 PPG (20th overall).

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks will be out for revenge here for last night’s result. With that defeat, Dallas have now won five and lost three of their last eight games and are still one win ahead of the Kings in the standings. 

A major contributor to their downfall last night was their underwhelming shooting accuracy. As a team, Dallas shot 45% from the field but made only four of their 20 attempts from beyond the arc. 

The Mavs are mid-table on both ends this season, 12th for average points scored (114.6 PPG) and 18th for points against (115.1 PPG).
