The Los Angeles Clippers’ four-game losing streak has deflated some of their postseason optimism, and that raises the stakes ahead of tonight’s visit to the Dallas Mavericks.
While this looks like a decent bounce-back spot for L.A., my Clippers vs. Mavericks predictions aren't sleeping on Cooper Flagg, who’s getting quality reps as a No. 1 option.
Get the lowdown on this battle with my free NBA picks for Saturday, March 21.
Clippers vs Mavericks prediction
Clippers vs Mavericks best bet: Cooper Flagg Over 33.5 points + rebounds + assists (-115)
Cooper Flagg has fallen behind Kon Knueppel in the Rookie of the Year race, but he’s poised to finish strong for the Dallas Mavericks.
With the keys to the offense and great size on the boards, Flagg has eclipsed this combo O/U number in three of his last four games.
His scoring will be the driver for this Over, and that’s a nice volume play. Flagg has taken 17+ shots in 12 of his last 17 games, and he’s averaging 22.5 points per game in his past four outings.
Even if Kawhi Leonard returns for the Los Angeles Clippers, Flagg can still stuff the stat sheet.
