Yesterday’s Results for Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks

NBA Playoff Inner Circle - Friday

Analysis: The Western Conference 1st round matchup has the Dallas Mavericks taking on the LA Clippers in game three of their series. The venue moves to Dallas here on Friday. The series is tied 1-1 and this game holds a key for both teams as they set the tone in this series. The Clippers dominated game one back in LA, 109-97, as a 3-point dog. Then they lost game two, 93-96, as a 1.5-point favorite. The Clippers were without star Kawhi Leonard for the first two games. However, he's been upgraded to questionable. Even if Leonard doesn't go they are still loaded with offense in the form of Paul George and James Harden. The Dallas Mavericks return home but will be dealing with a host of injuries. Tim Hardaway Jr who will miss this game. The Mavs have lived and died by the 3-point shot this year and without Hardaway that will put a dent in that average. Both teams could be missing key cogs here tonight, but Leonard could play. I'll take the points with Clippers to bounce back here in game three.
