The Clippers are on the second night of a back to back, but are also returning home after a long road stretch. The Mavericks welcome the return of Luka Doncic and Maxi Kleber, their two best players, though they have no desire or need to win the rest of this season. The Clippers need this game far more, and need to play like it, or they’ll lose.
