Dallas -5 @ Clippers

NY Playa · 03-30-11, 12:48 AM

agree, i got them at -2 buying 4 pts...last part a of a parlay i really wish to hit. Pakistan and GS +14 are the front ends.

maybe it's a matchup thing, mavs having trouble on defense. i don't know though, im going to bet the mavs-5 1 unit before it changes. I just don't think the clippers are very good, and the mavs have been resting. I'm sure dirk will do better than last game vs. suns where he was awful and they still won.

I picked up Dallas as well. Clippers have some great young talent, but can't really seem to find a way to get it to work.

I just hate that my only picks for tomorrow night are all road favorites: Mavs, Thunder, Blazers.

We will wait till more squares come out from their shell because I'm picking clippers +5.

Mavs own Clippers. They've won four straight over the Clippers in L.A. by an average of 17.5 points. Mavericks also beat the Clippers 112-105 at home Jan. 25 for their eighth win in a row in the series and 14th in 15 meetings. Los Angeles’ losing streak against Dallas is its longest against any West opponent.

Dallas needs to step up its game for the final stretch here. I think they come out differently too after that very lackluster performance in Phoenix, even though they got the win for me and cover.
Clippers have been very dominant lately at home, but they just don't match up well with the Mavs.

Now, having said this... it was pointed out somewhere else that Mavs will play the Lakers the next day at Staples. This is a BIG factor to consider! Even cut this from the preview on covers.com:

"Mavericks play the first of back-to-back games in Los Angeles, but you can excuse them if they look past the Clippers on Wednesday night to the Lakers on Thursday. Not only are the Mavericks chasing the Lakers for second place in the Western Conference, they also want to use the game as a measuring stick for the playoffs."

So this negates the play for me and it could look like another Boston in Phoenix game, who were looking ahead to L.A. a couple months back when they got blown out by the Suns. I don't see Mavericks getting blown out at all by the Clippers, they could even win by a small margin, but they are definitely going to be trying to keep the battery full for the bigger game next day. I'd lean Clippers getting the chalk after public bets it up another point or two, or just stay away all together.

Dal defense rip desperate phx sun apart & can't see them lose in LA, i think they should cover it here.

dude_bg · 03-30-11, 02:25 AM

wait wait, don't mavs have to win tonight to have a chance of getting ahead of Lakers
i mean if they lose tonight, will it matter if they win tomorrow?

QUEST001 · 03-30-11, 02:30 AM

Oakland.... carefull with this Mavs pk. I could see mavs win but not cover. Mavs play lakers next day B2b. Thats the game they want big time. mavs first half may be better here...

Crnjak · 03-30-11, 02:45 AM

I agree with Dallas -5!

Yeah you are right they really wanna beat the lakers. I just saw that aswell and i have not made my bet. For some reason I always do bad on wednesdays. I am going to wait until all the lines come out, there will probably be better games. I like philly, charlotte, and washington depending on if its a large spread.

dude_bg · 03-30-11, 03:14 AM

rockets+3 this is the line

btw this is interesting

Cavaliers at Bobcats (Wednesday, March 30): Baron Davis said that when the Cavs welcome back LeBron James on Tuesday night there will be confidence, motivation, passion and not “a lot of smiles.” Cleveland will undoubtedly exert maximum effort against its former teammate so there won’t be anything left in the tank for this matchup the following night. The Cavs are 0-9 SU and 1-8 ATS during the second leg of their last nine back-to-back sets.

Spread is suspect, I suppose the Mavs could overlook the clipshow having the lakers tomorrow.

Tennispro · 03-30-11, 05:08 AM

Omg the postes about overlooking Lac are so dumb i cant even describe it they need to win against Clippers and Lakers for the 2nd seed so why would you overlook Clippers they would want to blow out Clippers so they can rest a bit for the Lakers just like Houston did last night...
