Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks Odds
Los Angeles Clippers Team News
After a very bad start to the season, the Clippers showed all their class and individual quality and reached a high fourth place in the West. If injuries had spared them during the regular part of the season, we believe they would have been ranked even better. In this match, they are expected to perform without their best player Kawhi Leonard who has knee problems, while some key players like George, Westbrook, and Powell are questionable but we believe they will be available in this match.
In their composition, the Clippers have a large number of superstar players who individually can create problems for everyone, especially in the 1 on 1 game. Leonard and George, who are the leaders of the team, are having an excellent season, but what is especially important is that James Harden has accepted the role of playing more for the team than concentrating on the scoring aspect of the game.
The Clippers played the last three matches without their best players, which led to three straight losses. In those matches, Bones Hyland showed that he could be counted on in the playoffs led the Clippers in points, and scored 37 points against the Suns.
Dallas Mavericks Team News
Dallas finished the regular part of the season phenomenally, excluding the last two matches when they rested the holders of the game, where they were defeated. In the last eighteen matches when they played in the strongest lineup, they won sixteen times. Luka Doncic is playing in fantastic form, averaging 34 points this season, and is one of the candidates for the MVP award. He has especially improved his form in the last two months, where he regularly scores over 30 points per game and has had several games with 40+ points. When Luka is in rhythm and doesn’t communicate too much with the referees, he looks unstoppable to opposing defenses. In addition to Luka, the Mavs have Irving in their composition, who is a magician and complements Luka well, and additionally relieves him in passing the ball and creating the game.
During the season, the Mavs additionally strengthened themselves in the center positions, where they lacked solidity and width. Gafford and Washington arrived, who get along well with Doncic and exploit his lob passes. However, the problem is that both are injured and are questionable for this match.

Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
One of the biggest questions regarding the first game in the series is what lineup will the Clippers play? According to the bookmakers, the Mavs are the favorites, but we still think that the Clippers will get a favorable result in this match and take the lead in a series that could go to seven games. If the Clippers manage to make Doncic nervous with their solid defense, they will be close to victory.
