The Los Angeles Clippers will visit the Dallas Mavericks tonight in an NBA game that will be FREE live streaming online from the American Airlines Arena in Dallas at 8:30 PM ET

The Mavericks try to pick up a rare win over the visiting Clippers on Thursday night.

Dallas (43-29) has won five of seven after getting past Oklahoma City 128-119 in overtime Tuesday. Nowitzki led the way with 32 points and 10 rebounds, posting his second 30-point effort this month.

"His emotion and his attitude carried the team. He's a prideful guy. I think great players are great for a reason," coach Rick Carlisle said of Nowitzki to the team's website. "Obviously, we need the win. I'm just real proud of the way the guys battled the whole way through it."

The Mavericks, who have seen three of their last four games go to OT, are tied with Phoenix for eighth place in the Western Conference.

Dallas now tries to solve the Clippers, who have taken six of eight in the series, including both meetings this season behind remarkable fourth-quarter comebacks. Los Angeles outscored the Mavericks 16-2 over the final 3:51 in a 119-112 road win Jan. 3, then erased a 17-point deficit with 4 1/2 minutes to go in a 129-127 victory Jan. 15.

The Clippers (50-22) had won 13 of 14 before opening a five-game road trip with Wednesday's 98-96 loss at New Orleans. Jamal Crawford scored 31 points off the bench but missed a couple late 3s, including one as time expired.

The Clippers are 4-8 when closing back-to-backs on the road. They are averaging 102.4 points in those games, 5.0 less than their season mark.
