Mavericks vs. Clippers Game Info
Dallas Mavericks (44-32, 23-15 Away) vs. Los Angeles Clippers (49-27, 26-12 Home)
Date: Wednesday, June 2, 2021
Start Time: 10 p.m. EST
Venue: STAPLES Center — Los Angeles, Calif.
Coverage: TNT
It is back to the drawing board for the Mavericks after getting blown out on their homecourt in Game 4. At least Dallas already knows they can walk into STAPLES Center and come out winners. For most players, Luka Doncic’s Game 4 line of 19 points, six assists and six rebounds would be a terrific performance. For Doncic, however, it was on the quiet side. Given the inconsistent offensive production of his teammates, the Mavs truly need Doncic to go off if they are in fact going to pull off a series upset. Kristaps Porzingis had 18 points in Sunday’s loss but was largely ineffective in both Games 3 and 4. He will need to be better, and Dallas will need other weapons to step up to the plate moving forward.
Kawhi Leonard continued his incredible postseason to date on Sunday with a 29-point, 10-rebound effort to lead the Clippers. Paul George finished with 20 points, while Reggie Jackson once again came through for Los Angeles offensively with 15 points. It appears the Clips might have finally found a reliable third weapon behind their two superstars. After such a dominant win in Game 4, it’s no shock to see the NBA betting odds tilted very heavily in the Clippers’ favor ahead of Wednesday’s matchup. It is worth noting that Serge Ibaka is unlikely to play in Game 5, although Los Angeles had no trouble without him in the last two games.

Mavericks vs. Clippers Prediction
Game 4 was a total blowout in the Clippers’ favor. When considering the fact that Los Angeles shot over 48% from the floor compared to just 34% shooting for the Mavericks, it’s no surprise that the final margin of victory was a whole 25 points. That is highly unlikely to occur again on Wednesday. The Clippers have certainly woken up, but it’s hard to trust the supporting cast enough to lay 7.5 points. Both teams are just searching for offensive contributors behind their stars. While Los Angeles has an advantage in their two stars to Dallas’ one, such a vast discrepancy in shooting numbers cannot possibly occur twice in a row. And road teams just seem to have the mojo in this series, for whatever reason.
Prediction: Mavericks +7.5
