Mavericks vs Clippers Prediction & Player Prop of the Game: Kyrie to make his Mavs Debut in LA

Luka Doncic, new signing Kyrie Irving Dallas Mavericks roll into Los Angeles to take on Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and the Clippers in Crypto. Com Arena.

Crypto.com saw history made last night as LeBron James became the All-Time Leading scorer, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabaar in front of a packed Laker house.

While there won't be that type of history made in Crypto.com tonight, there are still plenty of headline in this one, none bigger than Kyrie Irving making his Mavericks debut.

Prediction

All eyes will be on the new Maverick Kyrie Irving tonight as he makes his debut after the blockbuster move from the Brooklyn Nets.

It is looking like we aren't going to get all the drama tonight though as Luka Doncic is not expected to play tonight.

So we will have to wait another game or two to see how the Luka/Kyrie experience looks in Dallas.

But in this one, all eye will be on Kyrie and what he will do with his new team.

From the Clippers side, they have won 3 of their last 4 games and are sitting 4th in the West.

Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have been great the past 2 weeks and will look to grab another big win tonight in Crypto.com and grab a big Western conference win.

With no Luka and a new Point guard running the offense, it will be interesting to see how this one plays out.

I am going to ride with the Clippers to get things done at home and get a big win against the new look Mavs.

Player Prop of the Game

Kyrie Irving o27.5 points (-120) BetOnline

While I am not sure exactly how this new offense is going to run in Dallas with Kyrie and Luka on the floor, with no Luka tonight I love Kyrie to come out and make a statement to his new team and the league.

He has been playing great before he got traded and he has played well against the Clippers.

In his last 2 against the Clips, he has 28 and 39 points respectively.

In his last 5 overall with the Nets before the trade, he has averaged 28 points per game and has 28+ points in 6 of his last 8 games.

Withe no Luka tonight, give me a big first performance from Kyrie to put the league on notice.
