Mavericks at Clippers picks and predictionsPrediction

Clippers 117, Mavericks 112

PASS.

There is no value on the Clippers (-275) to win at home against a Mavericks team that is just 1-5 on the road this season.

LEAN MAVERICKS +7.5 (-115).

The last time these teams faced off resulted in a double-overtime thriller. While this matchup may not provide the same theatrics, another close game should be expected. The Mavs have covered in 2 of their last 3 games and 3 of their last 5 as underdogs, while the Clippers have failed to cover in 4 of their last 5, including last night when they lost as a 6.5-point favorite.

With both teams off to disappointing starts and coming into Saturday with minimal injuries, expect a good show with the Mavs covering a wider spread.

BET OVER 223.5 (-115).

The Mavericks have scored 118 or more in 2 of their last 5 games and have hit the Over in 5 of their last 10. They have allowed at least 115 points in 7 of their last 10.

The Clippers have hit the Over in 3 of their last 5 and in 6 of their last 9. They have scored 118 or more in 2 of their last 4 while allowing 120 or more in 2 of their last 3 and in 6 of their last 9.
