Mavericks vs. Clippers Best Prop Bet

Ivica Zubac OVER 12.5 Rebounds (-110) via BetMGM

Ivica Zubac dominated the glass last night against the Mavericks, grabbing 13 rebounds. He has now reached 13+ rebounds in three of his last four games, including a 20 rebound performance against the Orlando Magic on March 31. Considering the Mavericks rank 26th in the NBA in rebounding rate, he should be poised for another big game on the glass tonight.

Mavericks vs. Clippers Prediction and Pick

Both teams played at a slow pace in the first leg of their back-to-back, each team recording 100 total possessions, resulting in just 205 total points being scored. Now that they're facing each other again tonight, I expect the game to be played at a similar pace.

The Clippers have been one of the best defensive teams in the NBA all season. They rank fourth in defensive efficiency and second in opponent Floor%, which measures a percentage of a team's possessions that result in at least one point being scored.

If the Clippers can keep the Mavericks from scoring fewer than 100 points for the second straight night, this game has a great chance of staying UNDER the total, so that's the bet I'm rolling with.
