The Clippers have won all 3 games facing the Mavs this season.

Blake Griffin has been bothered by back spasms, but played in the Suns game and should get the start in this one.

The Clippers have won 4 straight and are 8-2 in their last 10 games and the Mavs are coming off a loss and are 6-4 in their last 10 games. However, Jamaal Crawford is expected to miss his 4th straight game with an injury.
[ad-6571516]
The Clippers have to play good perimeter D against the top 2 scorers of the Mavs in Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis.

The Mavs’ defense only ranks 23rd in the league and they will be facing a Clippers team that is the highest scoring team in the league.

The Mavs have had their issues on the boards this season ranking 26th in the league in rebounds per game, which is not good facing Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, who leads the league in rebounding.

After this game the Mavs play 3 games facing teams that are well under .500 and then face the Grizzlies and the Suns, who the Mavs are currently tied with in the conference.

Betting Trends

The Mavs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 38-13 ATS in their last 51 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Over record of 6-1 in their last 7 games.

The Clippers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall, 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Over record of 4-0 in their last 4 games.

In the last 4 games between these 2 teams the total has gone Over every time.

Jason’s Pick:

The road team has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 games between these 2 teams, but that trend will not continue. At home the Clippers will win and cover.
