What you need to know about the Mavericks
The Mavericks are out to make up for these teams’ contest on Sunday. They were within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap as they fell 97-91 to Los Angeles. Shooting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. wasn’t much of a difference maker for Dallas; Hardaway Jr. played for 35 minutes but put up just eight points on 2-for-12 shooting.
Luka Doncic did not play in that game due to knee and ankle injuries, which was his third straight missed contest. He is questionable for Tuesday’s rematch and Dallas has lost all three games without him. In his place, Jalen Brunson has stepped up as the former Villanova star is averaging career-highs in points (15.8), rebounds (4.6) and assists (5.5).
What you need to know about the Clippers
Los Angeles’ win lifted it to 10-7 while Dallas’ loss dropped it down to 9-7. If Los Angeles wants to win again, it will need another strong performance from Paul George who had 29 points, six assists and four rebounds. The Clippers also got 23 points from Reggie Jackson while center Ivica Zubac posted a double-double.
Los Angeles will be without Nicolas Batum (health and safety protocols) as well as Kawhi Leonard (knee) who hasn’t played all season. Even without the two-time Defensive Player of the Year, the Clippers are locking down on the defensive end as they rank second in defensive rating (102.4). George, a four-time All-Defensive selection, leads the team with 1.9 steals per game while newcomer Eric Bledsoe is averaging 1.5 steals.
