Dallas Mavericks vs LA Clippers prediction
While Doncic has been ruled out, Irving is set to make his debut for the Mavs and he will no doubt be desperate to make a good impression. However, that could be tough against a team as strong as the Clippers, especially with Paul George and Kawhi Leonard marshaling the court. Being without Doncic is a huge blow to this Dallas team and LA is more than capable of taking advantage.
