I get it -- the Mavericks are on the second half of a back-to-back, losing to the Lakers last night. But laying all these points to THIS Clippers team? No thank you! I’ll take the dog in this spot even though Anthony Davis is not going to play. They matched up earlier this year in a game that went to double overtime. This one is close. Take the dog!

DraftKings. Cooper Flagg has remained under this points line in nine of thirteen games without Anthony Davis available. 59% of Flagg’s points come within ten feet of the basket, and the Clippers are allowing the seventh fewest points in the paint. The Clippers play at a slow pace - and I expect this game to be a bit of a slog with both teams coming off a back to back.
