Tonight will be the fourth and final matchup this season between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks. It has been a tight series so far, with the Clippers holding a 2-1 lead, but having needed overtime in both of their wins. The visitors do come into this game with some injury concerns to their bigs, with Dereck Lively II out, Daniel Gafford doubtful and Marvin Bagley III questionable to play. However, a veteran like Dwight Powell should be able to step in and deal with Brook Lopez inside. The Mavericks are coming into this game after taking down the Los Angeles Lakers and will look to keep that positive momentum going.
Cooper Flagg is currently in the mist of making a late charge to secure rookie of the year honors. Over his last 2 games he is averaging a staggering 51 points per game. He now takes on a Clippers team he has had success against this season, with his 52.9% shooting from the field against them exceeding his season average. If he is able to maintain that here, he should be able to keep the Mavericks competitive in this contest. The Clippers have suffered double-digit losses in 2 of their last 4 games so have been far from untouchable. Look for this to follow the season series trend and be another tightly contested game.
