Dallas Mavericks Dominate Recent Games, Look to Continue Winning Streak against Struggling Clippers

The Dallas Mavericks have shown impressive performance in their recent games, securing two consecutive wins and triumphing in eight out of their last nine home games. Their offensive capabilities have notably improved compared to the Clippers, as they have been able to rebound effectively and create numerous extra-scoring opportunities with over 10 offensive rebounds per game in their last three matches. Additionally, the Mavericks have demonstrated a reduced frequency of turnovers, minimizing easy-scoring chances for the Clippers. Conversely, the Clippers have struggled in their recent games, losing five out of six matches and two out of three away games. Despite solid rebounding efforts, the Clippers have faced challenges in scoring and ball security, consequently providing an advantage to the Mavericks. With Dallas displaying strong defensive strategies limiting opponents to under 98 points per game, it is reasonable to anticipate a challenging match for the Los Angeles team. Favoring the Mavericks to cover the spread seems like a logical choice based on the current trends.
