All eyes are on Kyrie Irving as he makes his debut with the Mavericks (29-26) on Wednesday night. But will Kyrie's offensive ability make a difference for the total as he takes on a Clippers (31-26) team that has consistently delivered Unders at home this season?

Mavericks vs. Clippers pick

The Clippers play a measured style of basketball at the Crypto.com Arena, reg istering with the lowest home defensive scoring average in the league. Los Angeles allows just 105.7 points per game at home while scoring only 107.6 points per contest. That mark is also the lowest in the NBA and it falls 6.4 points lower than LA's average scoring output on the road.

Those trends have led to the Clippers having the lowest rate of Overs at home in the NBA this season. The Over is 5-20 (20%) when the Clippers are the home team. That's a trend that aligns with the way Dallas tends to play on the road as the Mavs are 23rd in the NBA with an average of 111.3 points per road game this season.

Dallas is 14-13 on Overs in road games this season. A wild card in these proceedings could be Kyrie Irving, as the star is expected to be available for his debut with Dallas on Wednesday night. But Luka Doncic remains hampered with a heel injury and will not suit up for the contest.

Of the three games played between the Mavs and Clippers so far this season, all three have gone Under Wednesday's total. The highest combined total points scored across those three matchups was 214.

The majority of the betting board is in agreement on the total, but PointsBet currently stands on an island that is beneficial for Under bettors seeking a more favorable number.

While most have it listed at 220.5 with -110 odds going both directions, PointsBet offers -110 odds on Under 221. That makes it the optimal place for this wager. The line has moved against us since opening at 222.5. If the decline continues and reaches 219.5, this recommendation reduces to three stars.
