Why Bet on Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers are rolling, winning eight of their last ten games after a slow start to the season.
George, Reggie Jackson, Eric Bledsoe, and Ivica Zubac are playing well and helping to make up for the absence of Kawhi Leonard, who may not play this season after knee surgery.
LA is giving up a modest 103.7 points per game this year, good for 8th in the NBA.
Some expect those numbers to dive even lower, as they have been feverish on the defensive end through 16 games.
Why Bet on Dallas Mavericks
Although Dallas is in the top five in the West, it has surprisingly struggled on the road this year.
With a record of 3-5 away from home, the Mavericks will try to improve that below-.500 mark in Los Angeles, while also trying to shake a two-game losing streak.
Dallas’ performance on the road compared to when it is at home has been somewhat surprising.
They have averaged 100.8 points on 40.5% shooting from the field in road contests, compared to averaging 108.7 points on 47.6% shooting at home.
Final Betting Analysis: Clippers vs. Mavericks
With injury issues on both sides, that will play a factor in Sunday’s game along with the location.
The health concerns — most notably with Doncic — and the fact that the game is taking place in Los Angeles will lean in the favor of the Clippers, which means Los Angeles should be able to improve its strong home record and hand Dallas another road loss.
Los Angeles has been a tough team to beat at home this season and the struggles on the road mixed with the injury issues for the Mavericks is what makes the Clippers our betting pick for the match.
