Boston Celtics vs Dallas Mavericks Preview

The Celtics remain title favorites

The Celtics come into this game after an impressive 7-point win against the Eastern Conference table-toppers Cleveland Cavaliers as Derrick White knocked 6 three-pointers. They are on a four-game winning streak to recover from a 6-6 stretch around mid-January. The team has put complete faith in their three-point shooting, attempting 48.5 triples per game(League-high) while nailing 17.8 triples a game(1st). The over-reliance on the three-ball has backfired in many games, but the current core has already won a championship with this method and has the defensive acumen to make up for dry offensive spells.

A Wind of Change for the Mavericks

The Mavericks enter the contest after a gut-wrenching 2-point loss against the Philadelphia 76ers despite a 34-point explosion by Kyrie Irving. They have now lost three in a row and 14 of their last 19 games. Luka Doncic’s departure must have left head coach Jason Kidd in flux, however, he’ll soon have the services of two-way behemoth Anthony Davis. The duo of Irving and Davis can be lethal but we’ll have to wait to see if this fit will be good enough to take the Mavs at least in the top six rankings. As of now, their trajectory doesn’t look promising as injury troubles loom over AD.

Boston Celtics vs Dallas Mavericks– Final Prediction and Additional Information

The Celtics will be in wonderful spirits after the remarkable win against the best team in the Conference. Their defense is once again in full flow which means that Mavs will be in for a difficult battle here. Additionally, Kyrie Irving has lost a ton of games against the Celtics since departing the franchise in 2019. Thus, the Celts have a major edge here unless Anthony Davis is fit for the game. If he is ready to go, then we can be in for a major fight. I’d still expect the Celtics to score at least 120 points while liming the Mavs under 110.
