J scored over 15 points in each game.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>McConnell getting at least 11 points is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: T.

The Clippers won the first game 109-97. Expect a high-intensity game. The Mavericks need this win to come back and tie the series.<\/p>\n<h3>Current Form<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The LA Clippers<\/strong> have lost three of their last five games. They ended their regular season by losing three straight games. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/04\/19\/kawhi-leonard-injury-update-clippers-in-trouble-vs-mavs\/\" target=\"_self\">Kawhi Leonard is injured again,<\/a> and we are not sure when he will come back, and how serious his injury actually is. However, the Clippers blew out the Mavericks in the first game without him. James Harden and Paul George showed their leadership skills and led the Clippers to a big win.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Mavericks<\/strong> have lost three straight games. In their first game against the Clippers, the Mavericks had a terrible first half and that cost them the victory. They lost the 2nd quarter 22-8. In today&#8217;s basketball, if you score only 8 points in one quarter, you are destined to lose. They only made 39% of their field goals, and only 30 points from the deep. We do not expect them to have such a terrible shooting night yet again.<\/p>\n<h3>Injury Report<\/h3>\n<h4>Questionable<\/h4>\n<p>Kawhi Leonard (knee)<\/p>\n<h3>Clippers vs Mavericks Best Bet to Make<\/h3>\n<p>We believe that the Mavericks are overall a better team than the Clippers without Kawhi Leonard. The Mavericks had no bench production whatsoever in the first game. We believe that they will regroup and play a better game tonight. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2024\/04\/16\/thrice-in-a-lifetime-clippers-vs-mavericks-playoffs-preview\/\" target=\"_self\">We all know how Luka Don\u010di\u0107 plays against the Clippers.<\/a> We believe that he will shoot better tonight, and lead the Mavericks to the victory.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, <strong>the Mavericks winning tonight is a value bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Value bet\/ the best odds: Dallas Mavericks winning @1.77 @bet365<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170468&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n<p>Know your limit.
