<p>After stealing home-court advantage for this best-of-seven Western Conference playoff series, the Mavericks shoot for what would be a huge 2-0 lead on the Clippers when the teams meet again Tuesday night in Los Angeles. Here's our homework on this game, with our <a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/nba/free-nba-picks&quot; title="Free NBA Picks">free NBA playoffs betting pick</a> – at least the price is right - thrown in at the end. </p>
<h2>NBA Playoffs Betting Odds</h2>
<p>Most of the <a href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/nba/odds&quot; title="NBA Betting Odds From Multiple Sportsbooks">NBA playoff betting market</a> opened the Clippers at -6.5, with an over/under of 215.5. Early betting action then bumped LA to -7.</p>
<p>Any bettors out there thinking Dallas might win this game, too, outright could get upwards of +235 on the NBA betting money line.</p>
<h2>Mavericks-Clippers NBA Betting Preview </h2>
<p>Dallas grabbed the opener of this series on the road last Saturday, 113-103. The Mavericks led most of the game by as much as 12 in the first half before the Clippers finally took an 89-87 lead with nine minutes left. But Dallas used a late 7-0 surge to take control, on its way toward an outright victory as a six-point underdog.</p>
<p>Also, Game 1 of this series, which was on a pace throughout to play over its total of 217.5, instead squeaked under, as the teams combined for only 50 fourth-quarter points.</p>
<p>The Mavs shot 50 percent from the floor Saturday while holding Los Angeles to 44 percent FG shooting. Dallas also hit 17-36 from 3-point range, while the Clippers, who led the Association in 3-point shooting this season at 41 percent, hit just 11/40 from out there.</p>
<p>Going back about five weeks, Dallas is 13-4 SU, 10-7 ATS over its last 17 games.</p>
<p>On the other side of this match-up, Los Angeles has lost three games in a row and seven of its last 11.</p>
<p>The Clippers played five games better than the Mavs during the regular season, 47-25 to 42-30, but Dallas took the season series from LA two games to one.</p>
<p>Last year the Clippers beat the Mavs in six games in a Western Conference playoff bubble series. So there may be a whisper of revenge on this Dallas squad. However, we do not consider revenge a reliable handicapping factor. </p>
