The Los Angeles Clippers are on the road, heading to Dallas to take on the Mavericks on Tuesday night. In the Lone Star State, two Western Conference teams will face off.
Is Kawhi Leonard and Luka Doncic playing tonight?
Dallas defeated Portland at home on Saturday night, snapping a two-game losing streak. The Mavericks finished the season 7-5 and second in the Southwest Division, one game behind the Grizzlies.
In 38 minutes against Portland on Saturday, Luka Doncic had 42 points (13-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 15-18 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block, and two steals.

While his historic streak of 30-plus points to begin a season has ended, his prolific stat lines will be a constant for the Mavericks as well as fantasy managers who are fortunate enough to have his services.
Davis Bertans (knee) will miss the Clippers game on Tuesday.
Bertans worked out on Monday but will be out for at least one more game due to a right knee effusion. The sharpshooter will have another chance to make his season debut against Houston on Wednesday.
The Clippers finished the season 7-6 and second in the Pacific Division, 1.5 games behind the Suns.
Kawhi Leonard (knee) has already been ruled out of Monday’s game against Houston and will most likely miss Tuesday’s game against Dallas.
Leonard has been traveling with the team and participating in 5-on-5 drills, but with no shootaround scheduled for Tuesday morning, Ohm believes Leonard’s return to Dallas will be difficult.
As the game on Tuesday approaches, the Clippers should provide more information on Leonard’s availability.
