The Clippers were down 2-1 in the series, but earned a huge game 4 win in Dallas to even the series heading into game 5 tonight. Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has only played in two of the games because he has been dealing with a knee injury.

However, the Clippers have only won whenever Leonard has not played in this series. The offensive flow for the team seems to be thrown off whenever Leonard reenters the lineup, as fellow stars James Harden and Paul George have performed worse in the games that Leonard was playing. Leonard is still trying to completely heal from his knee injury, so he is not going to play in tonight’s game. Although the team is obviously better when all three stars are healthy, Leonard’s absence will allow Harden and George to put up more shots than usual and carry the Clippers offense.

Kyrie Irving and Luka Dončić are the two superstars for the Mavericks, and both players are averaging about 29 points per game this series. However, Dončić has recently said that he was letting Irving down during this postseason run. Dončić said this because his shooting percentages are much worse in these four games than they were during the regular season. Specifically, Dončić’s field goal percentage has dropped by about 10% and his three point percentage fell by about 12%. So, Dončić will try to shoot more efficiently and help Irving out on both sides of the ball, which should make for an entertaining game 5 tonight in Los Angeles.
