Prediction
Clippers 124, Mavericks 111
Moneyline (ML)
The Clippers (-385) look for a commanding 3-1 series lead, and they could be aided by the fact the Mavericks (+290) could be short their biggest star. Luca Doncic rolled his ankle in Game 3, and while an MRI didn’t reveal any serious damage — and it isn’t the ankle he has had a multitude of problems in the past — he is still reportedly in pain and a game-time decision.
If Doncic can’t play because of that rolled ankle, the Clips are going to roll the Mavs. Still, L.A. is much too risky to bet at nearly four times your potential return. PASS.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The CLIPPERS -8 (-110) looked championship-caliber in Game 2, winning 130-122 to cover for the second time in this series. It doesn’t help that the Mavericks +8 (-110) haven’t seen their two big guns Doncic and Porzingis finish any of the three games together, either due to injuries or ejection. Even if Doncic is healthy enough to play, it doesn’t sound like he’ll be 100 percent. Bang the Clips against the number.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 231.5 (-110) is a rather high number with one of the big guns for Dallas a huge question mark. However, Game 2 and Game 3 both cashed over, and that’s the lean here.
