Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Picks - NBA

 by Lou Aguila | in NBA Picks

The Boston Celtics gun for a commanding 2-0 lead in their NBA finals series with the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, 8:00 p.m US EST, at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The Celtics proved why they are the odds-on favorite to win their 18th NBA Championship following their emphatic 107-89 win over the Mavericks in the series opener. Kristaps Porzingis erupted for 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting off the bench to set the tone for the Celtics the entire game. All of Boston's five starter also scored in double figures with Jaylen Brown scoring a team-high 22 points and Jayson Tatum adding 16. The Celtics made nearly 50 percent of their shots, shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 38.1 percent from deep. The Dallas Mavericks could not find the same success they had in the series against the Timberwolves in Game 1, converting 41.7 percent of their field goal attempts and 25.9 percent from beyond the arc. Luka Doncic put up 30 points and 10 rebounds in his NBA Finals debut, but the Celtics' defense made sure he would not be getting support from his teammates. Kyrie Irving finished with 12 points on 6-for-19 shooting and P.J Washington added 14 in the losing effort.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics Prediction

Prediction: Betway has pegged the Celtics at -6.5 points, indicating the bookmaker's confidence in Boston's ability to take the first two games of the series on their home floor. Moreover, Luka Doncic has been downgraded to questionable for Game 2 due to a myriad of injuries such as a thoracic contusion, right knee sprain, and left ankle soreness. Doncic also did not participate in the morning shootaround, raising concerns that he may not suit up for Game 2. Regardless of Doncic's availability, the Mavericks face an up-hill battle against the Celtics, whose only home loss in the playoffs came at the hands of the Miami Heat in round 1. The Celtics are a dominant home team with weapons on both ends of the floor. Their dynamic duo of Brown and Tatum can explode anytime while Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis have been consistent in providing support to their star players. Dallas will have to dictate the phase as early as the first quarter if they want to level the series at 1-1 heading into their home court. If not, expect the Celtics to cruise to another easy win and take a commanding 2-0 series lead in the NBA Finals. Our betting prediction for Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks Game 2: Bet on the Celtics to cover a -6.5-point spread, -115, at BetMGM.
