Clippers at Mavericks picks and predictions
Prediction
Mavericks 106, Clippers 101
Moneyline
PASS.
The Mavericks (-280) should win, but their ML is too expensive to bet considering the Clippers are 4-1 straight up in the last 4 head-to-head meetings in Dallas. I will only be betting on the spread and the total.
Against the spread
BET CLIPPERS +6.5 (-101).
Los Angeles has played well in Dallas lately and looked extra focused at the Rockets Monday after a horrendous 4th quarter vs. the Brooklyn Nets Saturday (allowed a 26-9 run to end the game). While the Mavericks are 6-4 straight up in their last 10 games, they’ve only won 1 game in that stretch by 7 or more points.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 212.5 (-112).
The Clippers bounce back after sub-par performances defensively. The Under is 12-3 in Los Angeles’ last 15 games after allowing 100 or more points in its previous game. While the Clippers won by 16 at Houston, Los Angeles still allowed 106 points vs. the team with the worst record in the NBA. Expect the Clippers to tighten up defensively Tuesday and help the Under hit.
