The Los Angeles Clippers are back at American Airlines Center for a second matchup against the Dallas Mavericks this week. The Clippers and the Mavericks are back-to-back in the Western Conference standings. The Mavericks are in the lead with a 17-10 record in fourth place, while the Clippers are 16-12 in fifth place.

Only two more quarters stand between the Mavericks and the win they were favored to collect coming into this evening. They have a bit of a cushion as they currently lead the Clippers 54-40. The Mavericks came into the match with some extra motivation after the loss they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off.
