Game Preview
The possibility of having Anthony Davis on the court in this one makes every Mavs fan nervous. AD is one of the best players in the league this season, averaging 25.7 points, 11.9 boards, 2.1 blocks, etc. To cut it down, he is the top candidate for the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, yet averages 25.7 buckets.

Right now, the Mavericks are losing pace and are 11th in the West, having a 4-6 record in the last 10 games. They need to step up as soon as possible and chase back the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Cs are accelerating. They beat the No.1 seed in the NBA, the Cleveland Cavaliers, on Tuesday night, 112-105, showing their fantastic quality in Ohio.
Boston Celtics’ defense is the No.5 in the NBA, allowing 108.5 points per game. We’ve seen that quality against one of the best offenses in the league in its own home.
Mavericks vs. Celtics Head to Head
Celtics had been confident in their first meeting of the year with the Mavericks, winning 122-107 in Dallas.
Mavericks vs. Celtics Prediction
With or without Davis, the Mavericks won’t be competitive with the Cs at this moment. The home team is at a higher level of play, and we expect them to win and cover a 5.5-point spread.
