Bookmakers' experts found it difficult to name a clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, the Clippers will have a slight advantage as the home team. That true.

Bet on total
Head-to-head matches between the Clippers and Dallas are usually not very productive. In the last five out of six games, the 220-point mark has not been surpassed. There are no prerequisites for the teams to pay more attention to the attack this time. The match should not be productive.
Our prediction is under 218.5 points including overtime at 1.70
Bet on the player
Harden played 72 games in the 2023/24 regular season and averaged 8.5 assists. The 35-year-old point guard has shown through his game that he is capable of maintaining a decent assist rate. The Olympic champion will have to demonstrate his qualities as an excellent passer this time around.
Our prediction is Harden total assists over 9.5 including overtime at 1.87
