Los Angeles Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks NBA Cup Preview
Clippers Moneyline
The Clippers and Mavericks will clash in the Lone Star State on Friday night as both teams try to steady themselves after shaky starts.
Dallas enters the matchup at 3-9, struggling to find consistency on either end of the floor.
The Mavericks have dropped several close games early in the season and continue searching for a rhythm in NBA Cup play.
Los Angeles hasn't fared much better.
The Clippers sit at 3-8 on the year and have yet to string together any momentum.
With both teams desperate for a spark, tonight becomes an opportunity to reset.
Each side will be hunting for a much-needed win in the group stage of the NBA Cup, hoping to avoid falling further behind before the tournament advances.
I still believe in this Clippers team despite the slow start.
When you compare these rosters, Los Angeles is still the deeper group.
Dallas lacks depth, and after Anthony Davis, they've struggled to find any kind of offensive consistency this year.
Given the matchup and the talent gap, Los Angeles is in a good spot to secure a much-needed road win tonight.
Kris Dunn Over 6.5 Points
We'll team up with our Action Pro Report for this prop.
The veteran has played a key role this season, averaging 7.2 points per game.
Dunn has logged 27.0 minutes per game in November and should continue to see extended playing time with the current injury situation.
Our Action Pro Report projects him for 8.7 points tonight.
