Mavericks and Clippers tip off first-round series in L.A.

Two teams that took the opportunity to rest key players in different ways on the final weekend of the regular season should be fully refreshed Saturday afternoon when the fifth-seeded Dallas Mavericks visit the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in their Western Conference playoff opener. The Clippers (47-25) had a five-game edge in this season's final standings, but the Mavericks (42-30) won the season series 2-1, setting up a rematch of a tightly contested 2020 first-round series in the bubble that was won by Los Angeles 4-2. The Mavericks may have taken out some of their frustration in this year's first meeting in December, recording a 124-73 shellacking of the Clippers on their home floor.
