The matchup features plenty of talent on both sides. The Clippers are led by Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, both of whom were named All-Stars for the 2020-21 regular season. On the other hand, the Mavericks have a talented young superstar in Luka Doncic, who has been one of the best players in the NBA all year.
The winner of this series will face either the Utah Jazz or the winner of Friday's final play-in game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors in the second round.
