Game 6 between the Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks will be one of the toughest games of this season. The Clippers will try to avoid elimination while waiting for Kawhi Leonard to return in the playoffs.

The Mavericks, behind Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, will look to advance to the next round after the 2022-23 season disappointment. This will be another road game for the Clippers, while the Mavericks will have the home-court advantage.

However, this is not the first time the Clippers are in this situation. They were behind 2-3 in the first round of the 2021 playoffs against the Mavericks. However, they beat the Mavs in seven games. But the only difference was they had Leonard to save the day.
