Mavericks Analysis: On a 2-game losing streak
With a strong finish to the season, the Dallas Mavericks enter this series versus the Clippers with plenty of momentum. Since 2020, they have seen Los Angeles in the Playoffs twice, and both times they have lost the series. They have a 1-2 record this season versus the Clippers as well, although the Mavericks are a somewhat superior team at this point in the season and their last encounter was in December 2023. They have benefited greatly from Kyrie Irving’s ascent to All-Star status, and Luka Doncic will now have a legitimate No. 2 option and previous NBA Champion at his side in the postseason. This series will focus on restricting Kawhi Leonard’s output and forcing him to play without the ball in his hands because the Mavericks have struggled to stop him in the past few years and into this season.
Clippers Analysis: They’ve lost 3 consecutive matches
Although it’s still uncertain if Kawhi Leonard will start the Clippers’ first game against the Mavericks, Tyronn Lue, the coach, stated he’s preparing with Leonard on the court. The larger picture is that, other from Kawhi Leonard, nobody really knows if he will feel well enough to play on game day. In their two victories over the Mavericks this season, he scored more than 25 points, and in the previous 4 years, he has eliminated them from the playoffs twice. The Clippers should have no trouble scoring in the event that Leonard is unable to play because James Harden is averaging 13 points per game versus the Mavericks.
