Prediction published on 4/26/24, 3:40 AM  by Stephen Abiola | Modified on 4/26/24 at 6:40 AM in NBA Picks

Dallas Mavericks and LA Clippers will continue their entertaining playoff matchup in Game 3. In their last game, Luca Doncic led the Mavs to bounce back and secure a 96-93 victory to tie the series. This game also marked the return of Kawhi Leonard for the Clippers since March 31. Leonard showed just how important he is after grabbing 21 points, 4 steals, and 7 rebounds. He could be the game-changer in the upcoming series of games. Meanwhile, the Clippers must quickly find a way to deal with the tricky Doncic and Irving, especially in one-on-one actions. The MVP finalist is known for his shooting prowess and confidence. As seen often this season, teams opt to double-team him, which creates space for other stars to take open shots. However, in the past two games, the Clippers have shown that they are defensively better than the Mavs. Dallas Mavericks are the 4-point favorites in Game 3.
