Los Angeles at Dallas

Dallas is in the No. 3 position in the Western Conference. They could end up No. 4, but still have home-court advantage even if they are overtaken by Oklahoma City which doesn't appear to be a big deal. The Mavs have an old team and at this stage rest should supersede winning down the stretch. The Clippers are a vastly improved team coming down the stretch, and that is shown by the fact that they are a perfect 5-0 ATS when getting 8 or more points since February 26, and 6-1 ATS playing against teams with a greater than .600 winning percentage. Dallas is taking a breather at home vs. teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400 where they are just 10-28-2 ATS over their last 40. I'm playing on LA in this one.
