Clippers at Mavericks picks and predictions

Prediction

Mavericks 105, Clippers 100

Moneyline

The Mavericks (-225) will cost you more than 2 times your potential return, and that’s way too risky anytime, but especially with Doncic carrying a questionable tag for Game 4.

The Clippers (+185) are risky business, too, though, as Leonard is also not considered a certainty to play.

PASS.

Against the spread

The CLIPPERS +5.5 (-105) are worth a look, especially if Doncic is unable to go for the Mavericks -5.5 (-115).

It takes a bit of a leap of faith to back LA, as it is just 1-2 ATS in the postseason and 1-5 ATS in the past 6 outings dating back to April 10.

While the Mavs have cashed the past 2 games in the series, they are just 2-3 ATS in the past 5 games since April 12.

Over/Under

UNDER 208.5 (-110) is the way to go in Game 4.

The total has gone low in all 3 games in this series, with Dallas averaging 98.0 points per game (PPG), while LA has been good for 97.3 PPG.

And in this series, the Under has cashed in 5 in a row while going 10-1 in the past 11 battles between these Western Conference rivals.
