The Mavericks are looking for revenge
The Mavericks’ sluggish start to game one has them trailing 1-0 in their first-round series with the Clippers. Despite putting up only eight points in the second quarter Sunday, the Mavericks found something in the second half and look to carry it over to tonight. Every game in the playoffs is a must-win, but avoiding a 2-0 deficit is crucial. The Mavericks need to tie the series before returning home, and if the second half was any indication, they should do just that.

Outcome Odds

- O/U 216
- Mavs ML: -130
Odds up to date as of 10:30 AM CST from DraftKings
The Mavericks have been great at bouncing back all year long. Adversity trembles in the face of Luka Doncic and with the Clippers most likely missing Kawhi Leonard once again, the Mavericks should blow out Los Angeles on their home floor. Take Dallas to win.
Player Props
- Luka Doncic over 8.5 first quarter points (-115)
- Paul George over 3.5 three-pointers made (+124)
A big part of why the Mavericks lost game one was the struggle from its stars early. Luka Doncic should come out with a vengeance in game two and light it up from the jump.
George made four of the 12 threes he attempted on Sunday. Eight of those attempts and three makes came in the second half when the Mavericks switched P.J. Washington onto him. Assuming Dallas sticks with that gameplan, he should see around 10 attempts again which would put him over four makes, given his 41.3 percent shooting from three this season.
Same Game Parlay
(+370)
- Mavericks -2

Tonight is about going all in on the Mavericks and their stars. They will put up points and they will win the game. This parlay gives great odds for things that are correlated so highly.
Play of the Day
- Mavericks -2 (-112)
Much like the Clippers did two nights ago, the Mavericks will win this game in no-doubt fashion. Take the money line to be safe, but hammer the points because Dallas is going to win this game by double-figures.
