LA Clippers vs Dallas Mavericks Team News
LA Clippers Team News
The LA Clippers recently announced that top player Kawhi Leonard will miss some time with a knee injury. This will be a big loss for the squad.
Paul George has become a vital player, carrying much of the team's offensive load while Leonard sits out. George has established himself as a flexible player on both sides of the floor with averages of 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.
Ivica Zubac has also significantly improved in recent games, averaging a strong 12.1 points over the previous ten games, giving the Clippers some much-needed presence in the paint.
The team's ability to compete in the playoffs will depend largely on George and Zubac in Leonard's absence.

Mavericks talisman Luka Doncic continues to flex his skills and star quality.
The 25-year-old Slovenian superstar scores 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 9.8 assists per game. One of the best players in the league, Doncic can affect the game in all portions of the court.
The Mavericks have also benefited from Kyrie Irving's recent contributions. In the last 10 games, Irving has averaged 22.5 points and 3.6 assists. He has also added power to the backcourt.
The Mavericks are desperate to make the playoffs and the powerful duo of Doncic and Irving will be integral to their chances of doing so.
