The matinee match for the Sunday NBA Playoff slate features the LA Clippers and Dallas Mavericks in the fourth game of their first-round series. Dallas leads 2-1 after their 101-90 victory in Game 3.
Season Series
Last season the teams split their four-game regular season series each winning twice while LA took two of the three meetings this year.
Dallas holds the all-time record between the squads with 100 victories in 173 matches.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Saturday, April 27th Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Sunday, April 28th.
LA Clippers
James Harden and Norman Powell each scored 21 points in the Game 3 loss but Paul George (3 of 11) and Kawhi Leonard (4 of 7) combined for just 16 points.
Leonard is slowly regaining his rhythm but since returning the Clippers haven’t had the same flow on offense.
Adding to the frustration of the loss Russell Westbrook was involved in several skirmishes in the match finishing with two technicals, a flagrant one, and a single point in the match before getting ejected.
Clippers Stats
LA ranks fourth offensively (117.9), and 16th defensively (114.6) while their net differential is plus +3.4 that ranks seventh in the association.
Through the third game of the playoffs, they rank 13th offensively (106.6), and fifth defensively (106.9) with a minus -0.3 net differential ranking ninth.
On the season the Clippers struggled against the spread with a 39-46 record through 85 matches.
Clippers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kawhi Leonard, SF (questionable—knee)
Dallas Mavericks
Luka Doncic didn’t have an efficient scoring night in Game 3 shooting 7 of 25 but despite that was a single assist shy of a triple-double with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists.
The Mavs returned to their defensive focus with Doncic and Irving also buying into that end of the court. Down the stretch, Dallas possessed the top-ranked defense and is riding that advantage in this series.
Mavericks Stats
Dallas ranks eighth offensively (117.0) and 18th in defensive rating (114.9) with a net differential of plus +2.1 that ranks 15th overall.
Through the third game of the playoffs, they rank 12th offensively (1o6.9) and fourth defensively (106.6) with a plus +0.3 net differential ranking eighth.
The Mavericks were one of the better bets against the spread this season with a 52-33 record through 85 matches.
Mavericks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Luka Doncic, PG (probable—knee)
- Tim Hardaway Jr., SG (doubtful — ankle)
- Olivier-Maxence Prosper, PF (OUT Sunday—ankle)

Free LA Clippers vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Prediction:
LA is monitoring Leonard’s knee and how he recovers between games marking him as questionable for Sunday. It’s a double-edged sword for the Clippers who want their best player on the court but are simultaneously trying to navigate regaining their offensive chemistry.
Clearly, it’s a must-win for LA who can’t afford to fall behind 3-1 in the series so expect the Clippers to be the aggressors in this match from the tip.
When the bracket was set, I earmarked this series as the one in the West expected to be the most competitive and it’s looking like it will be the only one to potentially go the distance. First, the Clippers will need to draw even which is why I’m betting on them winning Sunday.
