The Clippers continue to win and do so with authority as the streak has now extended to three in a row. The Clippers enter off a rout of cross-city rival the Lakers on Tuesday where Lob City would go to work, hanging 133 on the Lakers. The fourth-ranked shooting attack (both field goal and three-point field goal percentage) led the way against an uninspired Los Angeles Lakers team who have since folded their tents on the season. For the Mavericks they come in off a 25-point loss to the Golden State Warriors at home on Tuesday.

Los Angeles Clippers at Dallas Mavericks Prediction
Given the fact Lob City just beat up on one of the West’s lower-echelon teams, the assumption here is that this price is too good given the fact Dallas was tarred and feathered by the best team in the West, just two days ago. However, these markets are usually quite sharp and what you see here is no gift from the bookmakers by any means. The Clippers are 20-18 SU away from home this season while the Mavs are 20-16 SU when hosting. Despite the necessity to win for playoff seeding, the Clippers are just 1-3 SU in their previous four road games (we are not counting that “away” game against the Lakers be that they play in the same building). This is a team that lost by convincing margins to both Denver and Minnesota despite being the far better team on paper. Given the reactions to both Lob City’s win and Dallas’ loss, the stock in these teams are at opposite ends of the spectrum here. This presents us with a great buy-low, sell-high opportunity. Take the points.
Free Pick:
Take Dallas +4 (-105)
