Key Matchups

  • Luka Dončić vs. Paul George
  • Dončić is the Mavericks' best player and George is the Clippers' best player. This matchup will be key in determining the outcome of the series.

  • Kawhi Leonard vs. Dorian Finney-Smith
  • Leonard is one of the best players in the NBA and Finney-Smith is one of the Mavericks' best defenders. This matchup will be key in determining whether the Clippers can get Leonard going offensively.

  • The Mavericks' bench vs. the Clippers' bench
  • The Mavericks have a deep bench that can provide them with a lot of scoring and defense. The Clippers' bench is not as strong, so the Mavericks will need to take advantage of this.


Prediction

I think the Mavericks will win Game 6 and advance to the second round. They have a lot of experience in close games and they have a lot of talent on their roster. The Clippers are a good team, but I think the Mavericks are just a little bit too much for them.
