There’s only one day left in the NBA regular season, but there are still too many implications for the playoffs to figure out.
But we have a series to look forward to.
No matter what happens on Sunday, the Mavericks will play the Clippers at 4-5 in the Western Conference.
This is the third time in the last five seasons that Luka Doncic’s Mavericks have faced the Clippers in the postseason, with Los Angeles leading in each of the past two series.
This time around, oddsmakers are predicting this series to be as competitive as possible.
BetMGM Sportsbook has both teams on the verge of winning the series.
The Clippers are a close favorite at -115 to the Mavericks at -105.
According to BetMGM, it is likely to be a long-term series.
The over/under for total games in the series is set at 5.5, with the over getting a ton of juice at -185.
Since the series was set up, those in the betting world have shown the Mavericks a lot of love.
Dallas started at +115 to win the series, then the bet dropped to -105.
BetMGM’s John Ewing reported Friday afternoon that 96 percent of the championship money went to the Mavericks.
The series is even, but oddsmakers believe the Clippers have a much better chance of making the NBA Finals.
