The Los Angeles Clippers have had their fair share of ups and downs in the 2015-16 NBA campaign but they’ve been fantastic when it comes to stringing together solid efforts. The Clips, who travel to Dallas to take on the Mavericks Monday, have not dropped back-to-back games since before Christmas. L.A. is 24-8 SU since a three-game skid from December 18-21. The Clippers fell to Atlanta by a score of 107-97 on Saturday.
- The Clippers are 8-0 SU in their last eight games after a loss.
- The total has gone OVER in 10 of the Mavericks' last 11 games.
- The Clippers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games on the road.
OVER bettors love when these teams get together, as they have a habit of participating in a lot of high-scoring affairs. The OVER has paid out in nine of the last 10 matchups between the Western Conference foes.
Perhaps they’re trying to copy the style of the trigger happy Warriors, but the Clippers are firing up 3-pointers at a ridiculous rate these days. Finding consistency from beyond the arc has been a major issue, however. The Clips have won just once in their last six games when attempting 30 or more 3-pointers.
The Mavericks (33-30 SU) are performing well against bad teams and poorly against good ones. Dallas has won just once in its last seven against teams above .500 and are 4-10 SU versus the five teams leading them in the Western Conference (Golden State, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, L.A. and Memphis).
