Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks Game 4: Western Conference Playoffs – First round

The Dallas Mavericks will be looking for another win when the host the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday at American Airlines Center.

Can the Clippers bounce back?

The Los Angeles Clippers had an amazing first half of the opening game of the series but are not 2-1 down in the series against the Mavs. They were terrible in Game 3, shooting 45.7% from the field. James Harden scored 21 points, and Kawhi Leonard and Paul George combined for only 16.

Is this the season for the Mavs?

The Dallas Mavericks are playing their best basketball of the season when it matters the most. They dominated the Clippers in the 101-90 Game 3 win. Luka Doncic recorded 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists, followed by Kyrie Irving with 21 points.

Betting Trends

The Mavs are 14-4 SU in the last 18 games overall and 6-13 SU in the last 19 games played on Sunday. The Clippers are 1-5 SU in the last six games overall.

Prediction and Conclusion

The Los Angeles Clippers are still in this series and will be after this game, but something obviously does not work within the team. They are packed with talent but have failed to be consistent in this series. The main difference between them and the Mavs seems to be the team chemistry, as the Mavs are ready for this battle and are enjoying it, while the Clippers left the last game with their heads down. Luka Doncic is absolutely the best player in this series, and whoever guards him, the Slovenian finds a solution. Again, he will be near a triple-double and take the Mavs to a 3-1 lead in the series.
