LA Clippers - Dallas Mavericks

The biggest question for the Clippers is if Kawhi Leonard is going to be healthy for the start of the play-offs. He is questionable for tonights game, he probably will not play. Despite this I predict Clippers to win. Home court advantage is much stronger in the play-offs thanks to the atmosphere. This will give the edge to the team playing at home, especially in the first games when players are not yet used to it. Also the games are officiated very differently and whistles are blown much less. Clippers have experienced players and a strong core, I predict them to win the first game.
