Dallas at Los Angeles

Premium Pick

Dallas shot 47% from 3-point range in Game 1 in a 113-102 victory, and the Mavericks don't figure to come close to that again as they average only 36.4% from beyond the arc this season. Los Angeles had an off-shooting day itself at 44%, which is below its season average of 48.2%. Also, the Clippers made only 11 of 40 3-point tries after averaging 40.9%. The Clippers obviously will need to clamp down defensively, and they are 13-3-1 UNDER their past 17 games, including Saturday's game. The past five meetings between these teams have stayed UNDER, and Dallas is 9-1 UNDER as a road underdog. The Clippers have bounced back with a 5-0 ATS record their past five games after losing by at least 10 points at home, and they are 8-2-1 UNDER as favorites. Take the Clippers and the UNDER.
