Celtics vs. Mavericks Odds
Game Preview
The Celts have played their last 4 games at home, winning 3 of them, including their most recent against the Milwaukee Bucks this Sunday night. The Cs went on to blow the Bucks away, winning 107-79 and firmly controlling the development on the floor.
Jaylen Brown is having an MVP season, averaging 29.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. Needless to say, his defense is fantastic, and he’s probably the best two-way guard in the league now.

On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks are on a slump, losing their last 4 meetings, and now sit at 19-30. The last game played was in Houston, where the Mavs lost to the Rockets, 110-107, following a tough battle and a thrilling finish.
Cooper Flagg had 34 points with 12 boards and 5 rebounds, indicating that he is the best rookie of the year. And not just that, but that the Mavericks have a new franchise face, possibly the entire league.
Celtics vs. Mavericks Head to Head
This will be the first game of the year between these teams. Regarding the previous campaign, the Cs won on the road, 122-107 and the Mavs in Boston, 127-120.
Celtics vs. Mavericks Predictions
The Cs are a better team, and even though this game takes place in Dallas, they will win. Don’t forget that the Mavs have three straight losses at the American Airlines Center.
