Clippers Mavericks Predictions Picks Odds Game 4

Paul George must step up for the Clippers as they face the Mavericks, with Kawhi Leonard's health in question. Don't miss out!

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have a golden opportunity to seize control of their intense first-round series against the Los Angeles Clippers today. The Clippers are anxiously awaiting news on the status of Kawhi Leonard's health, but my focus for this matchup is on Paul George.

With Leonard dealing with a knee injury, George needs to step up and deliver a standout performance in Game 4. While he has been consistent in the games in Los Angeles, he struggled in the last game, scoring only seven points on 3-for-11 shooting due to foul trouble. A repeat of this performance could put the Clippers in a 3-1 deficit.

Despite the Mavericks tightening up defensively, they lack elite perimeter stoppers, presenting an opportunity for George to exploit mismatches and be aggressive early on. It's time for him to take charge and set the tone for the Clippers' offense.

In addition to George, players like P.J. Washington have the chance to make an impact in this crucial game. Washington has been a sharpshooter for the Mavericks since joining the team, and I expect him to capitalize on open shots created by the attention on Doncic and Irving.

Even if Leonard is limited or unable to play, I anticipate a close battle between the two teams, with the Clippers showing desperation as they face elimination. While the Mavericks have offensive firepower, they have often fallen short of their team total in recent games.

In terms of betting, I recommend considering a same-game parlay to maximize your chances of success. Keep an eye on betting trends and strategies to make informed decisions on this exciting matchup between the Clippers and Mavericks.
