Dallas Mavericks vs. LA Clippers predictions

The LA Clippers had no answers for Luka Doncic on Thursday night as he erupted for a career-high in scoring. The 22-year-old superstar is white-hot, and he always shines against the Clippers. Expect LA to throw double teams at him from the opening tip, but it won’t matter as Doncic goes for a 30-point triple-double in a Mavericks win.

The Clippers cover the spread in a down-to-the-wire game on Saturday night. Dallas and the game both go under as the Mavs hold on for a four-point win.
