Prediction

Clippers 115, Mavericks 112

Moneyline (ML)

Surprisingly enough, the Mavericks (-121) are moneyline favorites at home against the CLIPPERS (+100).  Dallas has been just an average home team this season, winning 13 of their 23 games at American Airlines Center. Meanwhile, the Clippers have won eight of their last 11 road games and are simply the better team. Given the better odds, I’m taking the Clippers to win this game outright.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Clippers to win this game on the road returns a profit of $10.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Mavericks (-1.5, +105) are less than a basket favorite at home Tuesday night. With the point spread so low, there is no real advantage to betting this line as the moneyline pays out just as well. Since I like the Clippers (+1.5, -125) to win straight up, I’ll PASS on the spread in favor of the Los Angeles moneyline.

Over/Under (O/U)

The point total for this Western Conference matchup is set at 232.5 points and that feels slightly too high. While both teams have top-five offenses, both teams have better-than-average defenses as well. Expect this game to be high-scoring, but for the UNDER 232.5 (-106)  to hit in Dallas.

Prediction

Mavericks 107, Clippers 102

Moneyline (ML)

The MAVERICKS (100) have won five straight games and are 6-3 on home court. The Clippers (-121) have also won five straight, but they’re just 1-4 on the road. Both teams have been off since picking up a double-digit win Sunday. They haven’t faced each other yet this season and won’t meet again until Jan. 21 Dallas.

The Mavs beat the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers by 40-plus points before toppling the state rival Houston Rockets 137-123 their last time out. The Clips have won their last five games by margins ranging from two to 49 points.

Mavericks star SF Luka Doncic has led his team in scoring each of the last 12 games, and is averaging 30.6 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.8 assists per game on the season. He and PF Kristaps Porzingis will go up against the Clippers’ duo of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard in a star-studded showdown. Back the home side to extend its winning streak while dealing LA its first loss since Nov. 14.

Against the Spread (ATS)

The Clippers are 9-8 ATS overall but they’re just 1-4 ATS on the road, matching their straight-up record as visitors. The Mavericks are 9-7 ATS overall but just 4-5 at home, although they cover by an average of 3.8 points per game at the AAC.

The host MAVERICKS (+1.5, -110) are the underdogs in what’s projected as a one-possession game. The moneyline has a greater profit margin, but the spread can also be played at near-even money.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet for the Mavericks to lose by a single point or win outright using the spread returns a profit of $9.09. The same bet for the straight-up win on the moneyline fetches a profit of $10.

Over/Under (O/U)

Back the UNDER 227.5 (-115) with Leonard and George likely to limit Doncic’s production, but exhausting themselves at the defensive end of the floor in the process.

The Mavericks are a league-best 12-4 against the O/U while topping the projected totals by an average of 10.1 points per game. The Clippers are just 7-10 against the number and fall an average of four points shy of the projected total.
