Clippers vs Mavericks Picks & Prediction

Kawhi Leonard missed Game 1 of this series as the Clippers took care of the Mavericks with ease, 109-97.

Leonard returned to the lineup in Game 2 and Los Angeles fell to Dallas, 96-93 as the Clippers' forward scored 15 points, but missed all five attempts from 3-point range.

L.A. saw its 3-point shooting take a major dip in Game 2 after knocking down 18-of-36 attempts in Game 1.

The Clippers shot 8-of-30 in Game 2, as Leonard and James Harden combined to go 2-of-15.

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving continue to carry the scoring load for Dallas through two games, but forward P.J. Washington chipped in 18 points to even the series at 1-1.

Look for the Mavericks to keep up their momentum from the Game 2 win heading back to American Airlines Center and beating the Clippers for a 2-1 series lead.
