Clippers vs Mavericks Game 4 Prediction & Best Bets: Will Dallas Dominate Again to Go Up 3-1?

While three of the four Western Conference playoff series appear likely to end in four or five games, the series between the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers and fifth-seeded Dallas Mavericks seemed to be on course to be an extended series.

Will that still be the case after today?

After losing the series opener, the Mavericks have won the last two games, and with a win in Game 4 (3:30 pm ET, ABC), Dallas will head back to L.A. with a chance to eliminate the Clippers in their home building on Wednesday (time and TV TBD).

But when the two teams have evenly split their last 30 meetings, including each of the most recent ten, we might need to strap in for a six or seven-game series.

• Read on for the best spread and moneyline bets for Clippers vs Mavericks Game 4.
• See why Los Angeles is still in a good position even after losing the last two games.
• Find out where to place bets on Game 4 in Dallas and the other games on today’s NBA playoff schedule.

In Game 3 on Friday, the Clippers were up 32-25 in the second quarter when the Mavericks took control with a 27-7 run. From that point, Dallas spent most of the remainder of the game ahead by double digits as they went on to win 101-90.

To this point of the series, Game 2 has been the only competitive game. So, we’re due for a close contest today. Will we get one?

Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks Betting Analysis

If a tight game is what you are hoping to see at American Airlines Center, trends do not favor such an outcome.

Unless there is significant line movement, this will be the 11^th time this season that the Clippers close as an underdog of four or more points. In the first ten instances, L.A. is just 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS.

If the number holds or moves only slightly, it will be the 35^th time this season that the Mavericks close as a favorite by four or more points. In the first 34 instances, Dallas is 25-9 SU and 20-14 ATS.

Recent numbers are even better. In the last dozen instances, the Mavs are 11-1 SU and 10-2. The lone outright defeat came to the Detroit Pistons on April 12, an inconsequential 107-89 loss that occurred without both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

After their win in Game 3, the Mavs are now 20-9 SU and 16-13 ATS as a home favorite this season and 31-20 SU and 29-22 ATS in games following a win.

The loss dropped the Clippers to 19-13 SU and 13-19 ATS in games following a loss, and it also dropped them to just 4-10 SU and 5-9 ATS as a road underdog.

All that said, the Clippers are the lean here, even though the above numbers don’t line up that way.

Only once this season has L.A. lost more than two consecutive games in which Kawhi Leonard played. That was in November, when they lost six straight games he played in. There have been four instances in which they lost consecutive games with Kawhi, but that is the lone instance in which they lost more than that.

Just like Dallas bounced back from a Game 1 defeat on the road, look for L.A. to bounce back from their Game 3 defeat with a series-tying road win.
