Randy’s Pick

The Los Angeles Clippers are in a bit of a funk right now overall, but they've been at their worst on the road this season. Of course, the Clippers are still trying to work in Harden as well. The Dallas Mavericks have played their best ball at home this season and while the defense is an issue, their offense is giving opponents fits. If those shots start to fall, this is a game that could give the Clippers problems. The Clippers as underdogs is intriguing, but they have to get their act together first.
