Game Preview
On December 20, at American Airlines Center, the Los Angeles Clippers (16-10) will take on the Dallas Mavericks (16-10) in an effort to extend their 8-game winning streak.
After easily defeating the Pacers 151-127 on the road in their last game, the Los Angeles Clippers have been playing at a high level of performance. Paul George contributed 27 points on 9 of 21 shots, while Kawhi Leonard contributed 28 points on 12 of 18 shots, and James Harden topped the club with 35 points and 9 assists on 12 of 16 shooting. The Clippers took control of the game with 40 points in the 2nd quarter and never let up, finishing with a season-high 151 points in a convincing victory. As a team, they shot 57% from the field and 19 of 38 from three-point range. Paul George is one of the 4 players on the LA Clippers’ injury report; he is listed as questionable because of an illness.
The Dallas Mavericks, meanwhile, have been playing well; they have won 5 of their past 7 matches altogether. However, they will be looking to return back to their previous winning ways after suffering a 130-104 away defeat to the Nuggets in their last game. No other player reached double digits in scoring, with Luka Doncic leading the squad with 38 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists and Dante Exum added 11 points. The Mavericks as a unit shot 44% from the floor and 13 of 38 from three, but they were unable to generate any reliable offense outside of Doncic and Exum. Four players for the Dallas Mavericks are also listed as injured, with Dereck Lively II and Kyrie Irving sitting out the team’s matchup with the Clippers. They rank 21st in the NBA in assist rate (25.5) and turn the ball away 12.0 times per game, which results in possession losses.
