Along with Davis, the Mavericks were missing Derrick Lively II. He is also listed as probable for Saturday's game. Klay Thompson, who only played 12 minutes on Friday due to illness, was not on the injury report.

The Mavericks are 5-1 when Davis starts since he was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers in the Luka Doncic blockbuster. They are currently ninth in the Western Conference.
The Clippers have won three straight and five of their last six to put themselves into a more favorable playoff position down the stretch. They currently sit seventh in the West but are tied in the loss column with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who are sixth.
