(551) Los Angeles Clippers at (552) Dallas Mavericks
Los Angeles comes in off back-to-back losses after winning Game 1. The Clippers have 20 road wins on the season, and they know they’ll need a fast start in Game 4, so expect a focused effort from the opening tip. Los Angeles fits an 84% (70-13 ATS) first half angle in the Playoffs that backs teams after consecutive losses provided they also own a positive pythagorean +/- rating and a positive win% differential compared to their opponent. These teams have a very strong cover margin of +5.36 points per game.
