LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks 2/10/2022 Picks Predictions Previews
The LA Clippers will go against the Dallas Mavericks in NBA action in American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX, on Thursday, February 10, 2022, at 8:30 PM ET. The Clippers are limited in their abilities. The Clippers are an average club without All-Stars Paul George (elbow) and Kawhi Leonard (knee).
The Clippers lost 135-109 by Memphis on February 4 despite the signings of Norman Powell and Robert Covington in a Monday deal with Portland.
Powell led the team with 16 points in his first start, while Covington chipped in with 14 points off the bench. Jam Morant (30 points) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (26 points and 11 rebounds) were the only ones who could stop them. Memphis shot 51% from the field and had a 15-rebound advantage over the Clippers.
The Clippers can’t do anything without George, who will get an MRI on his elbow. George has 24.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. It’s impossible to replace two outstanding wing defenders like George and Leonard, though Powell’s addition may be a game-changer if George returns.
Powell was producing 16.5 ppg while shooting 40.8% from outside the arc. When you combine him with Luke Kennard (11.8 ppg, 43% 3pt), you have two of the league’s best 3-point shooters around.
- The LA Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 matches.
- Los Angeles is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 matches against Dallas.
- The Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 matches in the Western Conference.

LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks Predictions 2/10/2022
It’s difficult to rely on Kristaps Porzingis (19.2ppg, 7.7rpg, 1.7bpg). He’s 7-3 and can shoot from the perimeter, but he’s sidelined with a knee injury indefinitely. The Mavericks will have to adjust and adapt without the Unicorn, as they have with Porzingis, who only appeared in 34 of their 55 matches.
The Mavericks can compete with anyone as long as Luka Doncic is available. In Tuesday’s 116-86 home win against Detroit, Doncic produced 33 points and dished out 11 assists. The Mavs scored 51 percent from the field and 50 percent (18-of-36) from beyond the arc, led by Jalen Brunson’s 18 points on 4-of-6 shooting from the three-point range. They limited the Pistons to 38% FG shooting and 5-of-30 (17%) from beyond the arc.
Dallas won 15 of their previous 20 matches, indicating that they are finding their stride. With Porzingis out, Doncic is producing 26.2 points, 9.2 assists, and 8.9 rebounds, but he may need a backup.
Brunson (16.1 ppg, 35.4 percent 3pt) is a consistent force, but the team lacks a true three-point threat. That may be Tim Hardaway Jr. (14.2 ppg), but he’s had problems with his 3-point shooting (33.6 percent) and injuries (foot).
- Dallas is 5-2 ATS in their previous 7 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 5 of Dallas’ last 6 matches at home against the LA Clippers.
- The Mavericks are 9-3 SU in their last 12 matches in the Western Conference.
LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks. The NBA pick for this game is the Dallas Mavericks. Norman Powell and Robert Covington, two new colleagues for the Clippers, are still getting to know each other. Both are capable players who should contribute in the future.
The Clippers’ other problem is rebounding, as they surrendered 21 offensive rebounds to Memphis in their previous game. Inside, Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber will cause the Clippers a lot of problems.
Powell is one of those underappreciated post guys who benefit from Porzingis’ absence. It’s difficult to choose against Dallas right now since they’re playing at their best. The Dallas Mavericks will win to a predicted score of 112-104.
