The Mavericks have been winning rarely lately, but not in games against Western Conference leader Oklahoma, which they beat twice in the last week. And while first the Thunder took the court without Shay Gilgeous-Alexander and Dallas won 106:98 at home, the second time Oklahoma played with their leader. However, the Mavericks were stronger again - 121:115 away.
Dallas has only five wins in the last 15 games. Only Utah is worse in the West at this stage. In the conference standings, the Mavs have fallen out of the playoff picture, but are not far behind the top-6 - by 1.5 wins. Also note that even without Doncic, Dallas has not yet lost its place in the top 10 of the offensive efficiency rankings, scoring 115.3 points per game on average.
Boston
The Celtics will play their fourth road game in a row. Joe Mazzulla's team got off to a strong start, first defeating Golden State in San Francisco by 40 points, 125:85, and then taking a tough matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers, 117:113 (103:103) in overtime. Boston couldn't win in the third road game either. Even playing in their optimal lineup, the Celtics couldn't stop LeBron James and his Los Angeles Lakers - 96:117.
Thus, Boston has already suffered five defeats in the last ten games, although the Celtics' position in the standings has not worsened because of this. The reigning champion is confidently located on the second line in the Eastern Conference with the balance of wins - 31-14.

Expert Betting Tips
Dallas has had a hard time lately - a succession of injuries, including Luka Doncic, negatively affected the effectiveness of the team and at the stretch of 15 previous games, the team is ahead in the Western Conference only of Utah, the main outsider of the season. In this regard, we believe that Boston will have no serious problems in the upcoming game, and the Celtics will take the win, especially after a disappointing meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. Joe Mazzulla's team will obviously do everything possible to rehabilitate after the defeat from the principal rival. Let's bet on Boston.
