Los Angeles outfit advanced to the playoffs from the 4th seed, they were fighting Denver for the third spot to the last day of the season. Tyronn Lue's side is aiming for the title, but there is too much competition.
Clippers lost two consecutive games, but in the playoffs their motivation will be on another level. They got a tough opponent, so they will have to show class since the first game.
Clippers will host Dallas and bookmakers have faith in Kawhi Leonard and his partners. Without a doubt, we will see an interesting game.
Mavericks claimed the fifth spot in the Western Conference, but it wasn't easy for them, because their competitors found the momentum towards the end of the season. Now they will have to try their best, because they will face a serious opposition.
