The Clippers have both match ups with the Mavs this season including the last one, which was in Dallas.
The Clippers are still without leading scorer Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford, but Chris Paul and J.J Reddick have stepped up their play. Since Griffin went out Paul has shot 50.4% from the floor, has averaged 12.4 assists per game, and has scored at least 28 points in 4 of his last 6 games.
Dallas only ranks 10th in the league in opponents points allowed and they allowed the Cavs to shoot over 50% from the floor in their last loss. They have really struggled this season to defend the 3, which is not good for tonight’s game, as Reddick, who is shooting a career high 42.7% from beyond the 3-pt arc, and Paul can light it up from deep.
The Dallas offense has really been struggling, as in their last 7 games, where they have lost 5, they are only averaging 91.6 ppg where there season average is 104.3 ppg.
Monta Ellis (19.2 ppg) and Dirk Nowitzki (17.3 ppg) are the 2 leading scorers for the Mavs and in their last 7 games they are only combining to average 29.1 ppg and both players are shooting under 40% from the floor in that span.
The Mavs really need PG Rajon Rondo to play a solid game on the defensive end of the court tonight and not allow Paul to have a big game. Tyson Chandler also needs to step up on D facing the league’s leading rebounder in DeAndre Jordan.
