Mavericks vs. Clippers Prediction

The absence of Luka Doncic cost the Mavericks dearly in their recent contest with the Thunder. While Christian Wood looked strong on defense, the team simply couldn't keep up with the Oklahoma City outfit. Their chances tonight depend heavily on whether or not Doncic winds up making it to the court.

The Clippers, meanwhile, have floundered badly of late and will be without Paul George tonight. The team managed to post an impressive 21 offensive rebounds against the Hawks recently, but it still wasn't enough to get the job done. Defensively, the LA outfit stumbled in the last quarter, blowing an 11-point lead in the process.

Overall, this should be the Mavericks' game to win given the Clippers' struggles of late. If Doncic makes it tonight, the LA outfit could be in for a rough time on the court.
