Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (-3) for Celtics – 1.965.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Points Over 228 – 1.715.
The Mavs have looked unconvincing in recent games. Tough wins over the Spurs and Rockets put the Texans in doubt. There’s a good chance that Kidd’s winning streak will end there. The Celtics are a more dangerous opponent, so the Celtics can get the result they need.
The Mavs have scored more than 120 points in recent home games. It is likely that the home team will not change its tactics against the Celtics. Since the teams scored 237 points in their last meeting, we suggest opting for the higher total.
The Mavs are unstoppable. The Texans’ opponents are having a tough time at the moment. The last team to get beaten by the Mavericks was Houston. The Mavs defeated their opponent with a score of 111:106.
In this game, Luka Doncic was also noted for his success. He had a double-double of 39 points and 12 rebounds.
They defeated the San Antonio Spurs (126-125), New York Knicks (126-121), Los Angeles Lakers (124-115), Minnesota Timberwolves (104-99) and the Rockets twice more (129-114 and 112-106).
Not long ago, Dallas was in the middle of the standings. However, now they are firmly entrenched in the Western Conference top spot. They have 22 wins and 16 losses.
The Celtics are losing, but holding on to the Eastern Conference throne. The Celtics lost their second game in a row. After an away fiasco against the Denver Nuggets (111-123), they fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder (117-150).
The Celtics’ first place is already in doubt. Another stumble and the Celtics run the risk of losing their lead. Their rivals are already breathing down their necks.
Before that, the Celtics had a four-game winning streak. Previously they had beaten the Los Angeles Clippers (116-110), Houston Rockets (126-102), Milwaukee Bucks (139-118) and Minnesota Timberwolves (121-109).
The Celtics played 38 games, winning 26 and losing 12.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Dallas Mavericks: Spencer Dinwiddie – Luka Dončić – Tim Hardaway Jr. – Reggie Bullock – Christian Wood.
Boston Celtics: Marcus Smart – Derrick White – Jaylen Brown – Jayson Tatum – Al Horford.
Maxi Kleber (Out), Dorian Finney-Smith (Out) and Josh Green (Out) are listed as injured for the Dallas Mavericks.
Only Danilo Gallinari (Out) is listed as injured for the Boston Celtics.
