Los Angeles at Dallas

Life without star PG Chris Paul has been a bit challenging for te Los Angeles Clippers, who come into this game at just 8-12 on the season. Most of the losing came over a painful 12-game stretch where the Clippers were an ugly 1-11. That means outside of the 12 game funk, this team has actually been pretty good at 7-1. They have gotten themselves back on track and take on a Dallas team that is simply one of the worst in the NBA at just 5-17 on the season. The Mavs have no hope to heal, they just don't have the talent or the shooters, and they have gone 15 straight games shooting less than 50%. The Clippers have shot 47% or better in four straight and have the firepower to get it done in Dallas. Make the play on Los Angeles.
