The Dallas Mavericks (6-2) will try to rebound from a loss to the Toronto Raptors by welcoming the Los Angeles Clippers to the American Airline Center on Friday night. The game is a NBA mid-season tournament group play game and airs at 7:30 pm CST on Bally Sports Southwest
Toronto’s size was a problem for Dallas, especially missing their promising rookie Dereck Lively due to a non-Covid illness. LA brings a lot of those same big wings with them including, of course, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard – the duo that knocked Luka Doncic and the Mavs out of the playoffs in consecutive years—now, bolstered (arguably) by Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
