The Clippers and Mavericks will meet in the NBA Playoffs for the third time in five seasons, fueling a budding Western Conference rivalry. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are set to face off against Los Angeles’ star-studded lineup, which features Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
The Clippers won the two most recent regular season matchups against the Mavericks, but Dallas did manage to defeat Los Angeles in an In-Season Tournament contest. The last matchup between the two teams was in late December, though, before the Mavs added P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford to the roster.
The biggest question heading into the series is whether Leonard will be operating at 100 percent health after experiencing right knee inflammation late in the regular season. His availability could ultimately determine how far Los Angeles advances in the Western Conference bracket.
Here is everything you need to know to watch Mavericks vs. Clippers in the first round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs.
