Both the Los Angeles Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks have dropped two of three in the bubble.

Neither side have all that much to play for during the remaining of the regular season and staying healthy is the No. 1 priority. This comes down to which team wants it the most looking to build some momentum for the playoffs.

I expect the Clippers to show more purpose coming off a loss to the Suns while Dallas is coming off a 114-110 comeback victory over the Sacramento Kings.

Additionally, Dallas' defense is just atrocious at times while LA's D is truly elite. The Mavs rely heavily on making their shots, but the team is in big trouble if they're having a bad day on the offensive end.

Clippers are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games following a straight up loss. Mavericks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win.

8* play on Los Angeles Clippers.
