Our Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Expect the Mavericks to dig deep and try to match Boston, who are the -335 betting favorites. The Mavs have struggled for consistency as they wait for the return of Kyrie Irving (knee) and Anthony Davis (finger) later this month. Even worse, they are likely to host Boston without PJ Washington (head), although Brandon Williams could recover in time from his leg injury. With their big names out, they could struggle against Boston’s resolute defense, which has given up an average of 109.1 points this season. The Celtics have also conceded an average of 95.75 points in the last four games. They should frustrate the Mavs and get a win tonight.
Our prediction for Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics: Under 224.5 points.
