Clippers vs. Mavericks NBA Betting Preview

Clippers vs. Mavericks Game Info

NBA Western Conference Quarterfinals NBA Playoffs Game 4 (DAL leads 2-1)
Los Angeles Clippers (48-27, 22-15 Away) vs. Dallas Mavericks (44-31, 21-16 Home)
Date: Sunday, May 30, 2021
Start Time: 9:30 p.m. EST
Venue: American Airlines Center — Dallas, Texas
Coverage: TNT

It appears that the Clippers have some fight left in them after all. After throwing many in the NBA betting community for a total loop by dropping Games 1 and 2 of this series on their home floor, Los Angeles fell behind by some 20 points early on in Game 3. Just when it appeared they were truly going to roll over, Los Angeles came storming back. Kawhi Leonard was once again phenomenal on Friday with 36 points. Paul George wasn’t far behind with 29. Best of all, the Clippers finally got some scoring production from their supporting cast. Reggie Jackson was moved to the starting lineup and delivered with 16 points and four assists. Marcus Morris also got in on the act, drilling a trio of 3-pointers to finish with 15 points in the win. 

Luka Doncic is just different. He went off for 44 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in Game 3 on Friday, coming about as close to a triple-double as it gets. Unfortunately, he got very little help from the rest of his Dallas teammates in the loss. Maxi Kleber and Jalen Brunson supplied 14 points, while Tim Hardaway Jr. finished with 12 to round out those in double figures. Kristaps Porzingis was ineffective over the course of 34 minutes. He will need to be better if the Mavericks are going to see their early series lead through to the end.

Clippers vs. Mavericks Prediction

Even though the Clippers showed up on Friday, it still took both Leonard and George going off to get that victory. Can other members of the supporting cast consistently step up? The same question is now being asked of the Mavericks after it was the Doncic Show in Game 3. With major question marks on both sides, a bet on the total seems like the ideal option for Sunday’s game. In what has largely been a defense-optional series thus far, one could do worse than to play over 221 total points for Game 4.

Prediction: Over 221
