Clippers at Mavericks picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 114, Mavericks 108
Moneyline
Irving returns to the lineup for the Mavs, but Doncic is still out. That will be a boost for them as the Mavs mustered only 95 points against the Clippers Thursday.
The Mavs have to score a lot to win. In their last 7 games, if they score fewer than 120 points, they lose.
The Clippers have allowed 120 or more only twice in the last 9 games.
BET CLIPPERS (+135).
Against the spread
The Clippers have only covered the spread in a loss twice this season. With the plus odds for the moneyline, if you think the Clippers will cover the spread, you should like them to win the game outright. Take those plus odds.
PASS.
Over/Under
The Clippers have seen the Over and Under alternate in their last 6 games. The Under hit in their win on Thursday.
In the Mavs’ last 7 games, the only one to stay below 220 points was Thursday.
BET OVER 220.5 (-110).
