Dallas at Los Angeles

Dallas lost the last two games at home, 118-108 and 106-81, as their lack of rebounding prowess and bench play showed. The Clippers outrebounded them 39-33 in Game 3 while shooting 57.8% from the floor, then by a 53-41 board edge in Game 4 shooting 48.1%. The Mavericks are 5-11 ATS as a playoff underdog, plus 13-24 ATS after playing a home game. Los Angeles stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have led the charge after two poor games to start the series. Los Angeles was fourth in points allowed during the regular season and has won back home court. The Clippers are on a 101-77 ATS run as chalk and 53-37 ATS vs. opponents who shoot 46% or better, so back home court. Play Los Angeles.
