Dallas has moved up to 11th best in the NBA on offense and that is one reason they are playing so well. Dirk Nowitzki is getting help from other players like Jason Terry and Caron Butler. The Mavericks should have too many offensive weapons for the Clippers in this game. Los Angeles is just 27th in the league on offense and despite Chris Kaman having a very good season; too many other players are playing below their potential including Baron Davis.
