The Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks meet Saturday in NBA action at the American Airlines Center. The Boston Celtics look for a win to get back to a .500 record. The Dallas Mavericks look for a win after winning five of their last seven games.

Jaylen Brown is averaging 25.6 points and 6.1 rebounds, while Jayson Tatum is averaging 22.7 points and 3.4 assists.

The Boston Celtics are allowing 33.1 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 46.6 rebounds per game.
The Dallas Mavericks are averaging 101.1 points on 41.2 percent shooting and allowing 106.4 points on 45.7 percent shooting. Luka Doncic is averaging 23.9 points and 7.1 assists, while Tim Hardaway Jr. is averaging 15 points and 3.4 rebounds.

The Celtics are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Mavericks are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The under is 9-4 in Celtics last 13 road games. The under is 7-1 in Mavericks last 8 overall. The Celtics are 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Dallas.
Don't look now, but the Boston Celtics appear to have flipped the switch a bit, as they've won back to back games, and that includes a blowout beat down of one of the better teams in the league in the Heat. The Dallas Mavericks are finding ways to win games, but the offense has yet to get in gear, and it's becoming a major concern. This line is being a bit disrespectful to the Celtics, especially with how poorly the Mavs have looked most nights. Give me the points and the Celtics, a game they could win outright.
