With Dallas' scoring leader, C. Flagg, putting up 21.1 points per game on 47.3 FG% and 82.0 FT%, the Mavericks' offense will need to fire on all cylinders to keep up with Kawhi Leonard's 28.0 points per game, 50.5 FG%, and 90.0 FT%.
The Clippers are dealing with their own injury issues, with I. Jackson out due to an ankle injury and B. Beal and Y. Niederhauser out for unspecified reasons.
