Last season's analytics reveal a team that was efficient from both the charity stripe and within the arc, boasting an impressive 100 percent in free throws and two-point field goal percentages. Their true shooting percentage also stood at a perfect 100 percent, indicating an effective scoring strategy that they will look to continue into this game.


The Clippers' average of 113.6 points per game is a testament to their offensive prowess, supported by an average of 23.9 assists which showcases their ability to share the ball effectively. With an average of 43 rebounds per game, they have demonstrated control over both ends of the floor.

Defensively, they've been just as formidable with averages of 4.44 blocks and 7.07 steals per game last season – numbers that speak volumes about their defensive pressure and ability to disrupt opponents' plays.


However, it's not just about defense; the Clippers also excel in transition play with fast break points averaging over five per game last season – something that could be pivotal against a team like Dallas Mavericks who are known for their strategic gameplay.
