Clips in 6. 
The Mavs can play great offensive stretches and they have one BIG advantage, that is size on the front line IF they were to press that advantage.
KP + Bobi are literally giants even by NBA standards. They are too tall and too big between them for the Clippers or any other team to guard at the rim, (but the offense won't press that advantage.)
If Dallas is shooting well and could build a lead going into critical stretches and the end game, they could press their advantage at the rim, where KP is a load to guard inside and outside. They could hold leads that way against great defense.
The Unicorn is finding his range lately and looking better inside where he's too long for the Clipper great defense that isn't as great against size at the rim as it is against perimeter shooters and wing play.
Add in Boban who cannot be effectively guarded without opening up lanes and space for other shooters while Big Bobi is consistently posted at the rim and run to the rim.
That said, Carlisle's Mavs never press an advantage at the rim. They's mix it in almost randomly it seems, but press it consistently when the defense can't stop it? Nope.
They simply don't have that in their game plan. They're going to live and die with their shooting and flow offense.
Unfortunately against this stacked Clipper team, that type of game won't cut it.
I give Dallas a shot at 2 games because Luka is a Wonder kid and KP looks Unicornish again.
They could get an extra game over the more expected 5-out gentleman's sweep.
