Teams Preview
Boston Celtics
In their last game against the Charlotte Hornets, the Celtics lost by 29 points (89-118). Derrick White led Boston with 29 points and Jaylen Brown added 20 points and 11 rebounds. The Celtics came out sluggish in their sixth game in nine days, shooting just 38% from the field and committing 16 turnovers that led to 21 Charlotte points.
Boston also struggled from 3-point range, connecting on only 10 of 36 attempts. Boston’s shooting issues continued into the second quarter, dipping as low as 25%. The Celtics enter this matchup as the clear favourite on home court. Their balanced offensive attack — led by Jaylen Brown's 29.7 points per game — paired with one of the league's strongest defensive structures gives them a decisive edge.
Playing at TD Garden, Boston benefits from crowd energy and home familiarity, enabling them to control tempo and protect the paint. Their pick-and-roll execution and second-unit depth make them dangerous from all positions. Despite a recent dip in form, the Celtics are simply too well-rounded a team for an injury-depleted Dallas side to contain.
The Celtics on average score 117.0 points per game, shooting 47.3% from the field and ranked 9th in the league, and 36.9% from the arc and ranked 13th in the league. The Celtics grab 44.9 rebounds per game and are ranked 18th in the season.
Dallas Mavericks
In their last game against the Charlotte Hornets, the Mavericks lost by 27 points (90-117). Brandon Williams led Dallas with 18 points. The Mavericks made only 3 of 22 shots from beyond the 3-point arc, and could never get on track offensively in the second half, making just 11 field goals.
Dallas has now lost 14 of their last 16 games. Cooper Flagg was ruled out ahead of the game with a midfoot strain, further depleting the already injury-riddled roster. The Mavericks come into this matchup facing a significant uphill battle. Recent form has been dreadful, and an ongoing injury crisis — including the absence of Cooper Flagg — has robbed Dallas of its most dynamic players.
While on paper the Mavericks have enough individual talent to keep it competitive, sustaining that level of play for four quarters on the road against a Boston team that is still one of the East's elite units will be an enormous challenge. Consistency, defensive intensity, and three-point shooting will be crucial if Dallas hopes to steal a win at TD Garden.
The Mavericks on average score 113.9 points per game, shooting 47.1% from the field and ranked 15th in the league, and 34.2% from the arc and ranked 29th in the league. The Mavericks grab 44.7 rebounds per game and are ranked 19th in the season.
