Conclusion & Pick

The Boston Celtics enter this matchup as the stronger team, boasting a 36-15 record and winning four of their last five games. Their balanced offense, averaging 114.8 points per game on 48.2% shooting, along with a solid defense allowing just 107.4 points per game, gives them a clear advantage. The Dallas Mavericks, on the other hand, have struggled recently, going 2-3 in their last five, and their defense has been inconsistent, allowing 110.7 points per game.

With the Celtics playing at home, where they have been dominant this season, and the Mavericks coming off a tough loss to the 76ers, Boston should have the upper hand. Expect a competitive battle early, but the Celtics’ superior depth, defensive prowess, and home-court advantage should secure them the win.

Final Pick: Boston Celtics 115, Dallas Mavericks 108
