*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Monday, April 22nd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Tuesday, April 23rd.
Dallas Mavericks
When teams elect to rest their stars down the stretch they can suffer with rust but the way the Mavericks played in the first half looked more like a team that simply wasn’t prepared to play.
They scored a meager EIGHT points in the second quarter and the final score is misleading since Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic scored after the game was already in the bag for LA.
Although this team will be much more aggressive in Game 2, if there is a red flag it’s Daniel Gafford who looked out of place and got into early foul trouble. If he doesn’t up his game dramatically it’ll be a huge problem for the Mavs.
Mavericks Stats
Dallas ranks eighth offensively (117.0) and 18th in defensive rating (114.9) with a net differential of plus +2.1 which ranks 15th overall.
Through the first game of the playoffs, they rank 10th offensively (104.3), and 12th defensively (117.2) and with a minus -12.9 net differential also ranking 12th.
The Mavericks were one of the better bets against the spread this season with a 48-35 record through 83 matches.
Mavericks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- No injuries to report
LA Clippers
Things couldn’t have gone much better for the Clippers in Game 1 as they built a 56-30 first-half lead. They were on fire from the perimeter, Ivica Zubac was dominating inside AND they did this without their best player on the court.
Jason Kidd might even have more worries as while Paul George scored 22 points he didn’t have a great game shooting 4 of 12 from deep.
The Clipper who perhaps surprised the most was James Harden who looked more like his MVP version as he delivered 28 points connecting on 6 of his 11 deep balls. Given his history though, don’t bank on the Beard doing that four times in a series!
Notably, Leonard was upgraded to questionable but Ty Lue said he still hadn’t practiced with contact so why rush him back when you’re leading the series?
Clippers Stats
LA ranks fourth offensively (117.9), and 16th defensively (114.6) while their net differential is plus +3.4 which ranks seventh in the association.
Through the first game of the playoffs, they rank fifth offensively (117.2), and seventh defensively (104.3) and with a plus +12.9 net differential ranking fifth.
On the season the Clippers struggled against the spread with a 39-44 record through 83 matches.
Clippers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kawhi Leonard, SF (upgraded to questionable—knee)

Free Dallas Mavericks vs. LA Clippers NBA Prediction:
They say it’s not a series until a road team wins but falling down 0-2 in a series also means you have to win four of five games to take the series. It’s been done before on route to a title most recently by the Raptors against the Bucks but it’s not ideal.
The Clippers didn’t exactly finish the season looking sharp but they channeled the team who went 26-5 leading up to the All-Star Break. That said, Luka can win a game all on his own and I’m betting he’ll be amped to even the series on Tuesday.
