NBA Betting Preview: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Dallas Mavericks

Game 1 Prediction and Best Bets

Synopsis

The Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks will tip off their Western Conference first-round playoff series on Saturday night. The Clippers are the No. 4 seed in the West, while the Mavericks are the No. 5 seed. The two teams split their regular-season series, with each team winning once at home. The Clippers won the first meeting, 113-101, on Dec. 27. The Mavericks won the second meeting, 127-121, on Feb. 15. The Clippers are led by All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard. Leonard is averaging 24.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game this season. The Mavericks are led by All-Star guard Luka Doncic. Doncic is averaging 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game this season.

Prediction

The Clippers and Mavericks are both evenly matched teams, so this series is likely to be a close one. However, the Clippers have the home-court advantage and a slightly better record this season. For those reasons, I'm giving the Clippers a slight edge to win the series in seven games.

Best Bets

Here are my best bets for the Clippers-Mavericks series: * Clippers to win the series in seven games (+300) * Leonard to win MVP of the series (+350) * Doncic to average over 30 points per game (-110) These are just a few of the many betting options available for the Clippers-Mavericks series. Be sure to shop around and compare odds before placing your bets.
