The Mavs will be without Luka Doncic and possibly Kyrie Irving, but I see value in a wager on them to win and cover anyway. Dallas is 5-1 this season with Doncic, including 4-1 against >.500 teams, with their last three games ending in double-digit victories. The Mavs have scored 118-plus points in five of six without Doncic, too.

The Clippers (1-4 ATS in the last five versus the Mavs) can't treat this like a layup win, and I believe they will get caught looking past Dallas tonight.
