Clippers (-2.0) vs Mavericks 9:00pm est
Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers come into this Monday night matchup winning just one of their last five matchups. Last time out they were completely out played by the New Orleans Pelicans on the road losing by 20. The Clippers have the second best offense and are ranked first in three point percentages at 41.7%. Beverley will be out and Serge Ibaka is listed as questionable.
Luka and his streaking Mavericks are playing almost perfect basketball as of lately. They are winners of four of their last five, and are coming off an impressive win on the road against a tough Denver Nuggets team. Each and everyone of the Mavericks are finding their offensive strides here.
Even though Dallas is competing on both sides of the court right now, last night’s loss for the Clippers against the Pelicans was an awakening for Los Angeles. New Orleans poked the bee hive last night, and Dallas happens to be the team that has to face the storm. Los Angeles will play perfect basketball tonight as they need to show their playoff structure. They need to show how dominant they can be in the Western Conference.
Pick: Los Angeles Clippers (-2.0)
