Smart Game Analysis
Boston Celtics has a 75% chance of winning the game
The Celtics are poised to dominate a depleted Mavericks squad that is missing its top stars and relying heavily on a rookie in a lopsided matchup.
Key Analysis
- • Dallas is decimated by injuries, with key starters Anthony Davis (finger), Kyrie Irving (knee), and P.J. Washington (concussion) all ruled out.
- • Jaylen Brown is in peak form averaging 29.4 points per game and will carry the scoring load for Boston in Jayson Tatum's absence.
- • The Celtics boast an elite defense allowing just 109.1 points per game, significantly better than the Mavericks' porous defense giving up 116.6.
- • Boston enters with momentum after a 28-point blowout victory, whereas Dallas is reeling from a four-game losing streak and a 19-30 record.
- • The Mavericks are forced to rely on rookie Cooper Flagg (19.8 PPG) as their primary option against Boston's experienced defensive wings.
- • Dallas must exploit their 3rd-ranked pace (101.7 possessions) to unsettle Boston's methodical, league-slowest tempo to have any chance.
