Dallas Mavericks - Boston Celtics Greetings to all. At the American Airlines Center in Dallas Mavericks will welcome him Celtics, on 04: 30 Thursday morning.
In the first game without their leader, Luka Doncic, the Mavs they did well. Double (116-120) against the Bucks of 18 consecutive victories, with Porzingis showing that he can also come forward whenever needed, while Brunson and Curry were excellent. In general, the news from Doncic's recovery is positive, however data will be missing for another 2 weeks or so. 18-8 the record of Rick Carlisle's team that is in the 3rd place of the western region.
The Celtics They travel to Texas, being the 3rd in the Eastern District with a record of 17-7 and coming from two consecutive defeats, with their last match being against the Sixers 5 days ago and everyone in the team is aiming for a comeback. Not playing tonight is Smart who is suffering from an eye problem and Hayward is also on injury report.
In the first match between the two teams in Boston the Celtics had a 116-106 lead.
In summary, there are two issues that the Celtics to be significant, however, they are not compared to the impact the Doncic has on the Mavericks game. Obviously I'm not expecting a walk for Brad Stevens' team, but I think with the Kemba-Tatum-Brown trio and playing good defense against Porzingis they can leave with a double from Dallas. After all, logic says that we will see the Celtics fresh enough after their many days of rest and well prepared to face the Mavs. So my choice from the game will be dry double in performance 1,75 (stoiximan), while I am not negative about the handicap of -2,5 points for anyone who wants to risk a little more.
