The Clippers have rebounded nicely from a 6-21 start behind an MVP-level season from Kawhi Leonard, and they\u2019re currently 15th in the NBA in net rating (+1.5) despite being just two games over .500.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Oddsmakers have the Clippers set as clear favorites in this game, but can they slow down Flagg as he ascends to stardom at the end of his rookie season?<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a prop bet pick, a game pick, the latest odds and more to help bettors tackle this Western Conference clash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Clippers \u2013 Flagg\u2019s opponent tonight \u2013 rank 24th in the NBA in opponent 3-point percentage and just 17th in opponent 3s made per game.<\/p>\n Flagg is taking just 3.5 3-pointers per game this season, but he\u2019s had some confidence in that shot over his last two games. If the Clippers attempt to wall him off from getting to the paint, Flagg may knock down a few extra jumpers on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mavericks vs. Clippers Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n The Clippers are just 12-15 against the spread as home favorites in the 2025-26 season, but I\u2019m buying them against a Dallas team that would much rather lose at this point in the season to land a better pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.<\/p>\n The Mavs knocked off a short-handed Lakers team behind a big game from Flagg, but this is a much tougher task on the road against Kawhi Leonard and company.<\/p>\n Dallas has one of the worst records against the spread in the NBA as a road underdog (11-16), and it\u2019s just 10-27 straight up on the road this season. In addition to that, the Mavs have a net rating of -6.6 on the road this season while the Clippers are 10th in the league in net rating at home.<\/p>\n L.A. has the offensive firepower to handle this Dallas team, and even with Flagg scoring 51 on Friday the Mavs lost to Orlando.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019ll lay the points here as the Clips continue their quest for a top-eight spot in the West.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pick: Clippers -11.5 (-110 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Find Peter Dewey’s\u00a0NBA betting record here<\/a>\u00a0(futures included).
