Clippers vs Mavericks prediction and game preview 

The Los Angeles Clippers have been fairly inconsistent in recent weeks, which has seen them slip to fourth in the Western Conference standings. Tyronn Lue's side headed into the All-Star break on a three-game losing streak, which was snapped by their thumping win over the Golden State Warriors on return before falling to a defeat against New Orleans Pelicans. The Clippers however returned to winning ways in the first of their two games at the American Airlines Center, clinching a 109-99 win. Kawhi Leonard chipped in with 22 points, while six others scored in double figures to seal the win. 

The Mavericks on the other hand are eight in the Western Conference standings and suffered their second defeat in four games since returning from the All-Star break. Before the Clippers clash, Dallas clinched wins over San Antonio Spurs and the Denver Nuggets, sandwiching their loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Mavericks failed to hit the heights of their previous game against the Clippers when they had sealed a landmark 124-73 win in December. Luka Doncic & co. will look to bounce back on their home turf, as a win will see them maintain their advantage over the Golden State Warriors in the standings. The Clippers are favourites, but the Mavericks do boast the quality to pull off a win on Wednesday night.
