The Mavericks will face the Clippers for the second time in three days. Without Luka Doncic, Dallas lost to Los Angeles by six points on Sunday. Expect the Mavericks to be better prepared if Doncic misses another game, as they aim to end a three-game losing streak. Play Dallas.

Taking a bit of a risk here because I wouldn't like the Clippers at -4.5 if Luka Doncic returns from injury, but supposedly Luka aggravated his left knee/ankle injury while running through a scrimmage after Monday's practice. The Dallas Morning News report made it sound fairly serious so I'll have to guess he's not returning Tuesday. This spread will only rise when/if he's ruled out.
