The Dallas Mavericks (7-5) host the Los Angeles Clippers (8-6) tonight at the American Airlines Center. The 7:30 pm tipoff marks the first meeting this season between two teams with sky-high expectations. It is also a chance to revisit a playoff rivalry - as many of the same faces remain on both squads from those two grueling postseason matchups.
The Mavericks prevailed 117-112 over the Trailblazers on Saturday night. Good ball movement and catching fire from deep at just the right time saved the Mavs from a third straight loss.
The Clippers are coming into Dallas fresh off a swing through Houston last night.
