The team was without Kawai Leonard for the first game of the series with Dallas, but this meeting was confidently won - 109:97. Then Kawai returned to the floor, but it not only did not help but also weakened the Clippers. In the next two games, the Californians could not reach even a hundred points and lost 93:96 at home and 90:101.
In the fourth game, LAC had no margin for error and took the court without Kawai, who was completely unprepared for the playoffs. The move worked; the Clippers were excellent on offense and tied the series 116:111.
Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks have added a lot to their defense throughout the season. The series with the Clippers so far confirms the progress of Jason Kidd's team. However, the Texans have managed to stop the opponent's attack only when Kawai Leonard was on the court. In the absence of the forward, Dallas allowed 109 points in the first game and 116 in the fourth. The Clippers, who have all their players in good shape, are becoming a serious problem for the Mavs.
Expert Betting Tips
Kawai Leonard's appearance on the court reduced the Clippers' potential - the forward simply wasn't ready to play at his level, having not fully recovered from his injury. Tyronn Lue's team will likely go into the fifth game without Kaway and once again succeed, as they did in the first and fourth games of the series. At least, the Clippers are overvalued - they have no less of a chance to win in Los Angeles than Dallas.
