The Boston Celtics welcome the Dallas Mavericks in their next NBA assignment. They enter this game as the second seed in the Eastern Conference, having won double the number of games than their visitors, who are the 12th seed in the West. Below is our prediction for this match.
The Celtics are looking to return to winning ways and immediately put a poor display at home against the Hornets behind them. Joe Mazzulla’s men welcomed Charlotte while on a three-match winning streak but were unable to earn a fourth win as they were outscored 118-89.
It was their 21st loss of the season. The Celtics have won 41 games and are now 4.5 games off the pace in the East. Boston could be boosted by the early return of Jason Tatum from injury. The forward hasn’t played this season.
The Mavericks lost the first meeting of the season with the Celtics at home a month ago. In their current form, they look destined for another defeat.
Jason Kidd’s men have managed just two victories in their last 17 games and are on a five-match skid. This poor run of form has held them back in the West, and they look in danger of missing out on the postseason.
Dallas, on the second night of a back-to-back, did have a strong outing last time out despite defeat. Playing away to the Magic, the Mavs lost a close one 115-114. Cooper Flagg made his return from injury in the game and scored 18 points.
