Mavericks vs Celtics Game Preview

Mavericks Analysis: Luka Doncic is questionable
Luka Doncic, the point guard, is questionable due to an ankle sprain and a fractured nose. Kyrie Irving, the team’s leading scorer at 34.4 points per game, is expected to play an even bigger role for Dallas if he is unable to continue. Irving has averaged 25.9 points, 5.2 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 34.1 minutes of play over 37 games, all of which he has started. He scored 29 points in a 136-125 victory over Toronto on Wednesday, and in his last 5 games, he has recorded at least 29 points. P.J. Washington, a power forward the Mavericks acquired from Charlotte in early February, had his finest performance in that game on Wednesday. Washington scored 23 points in 31 minutes of play, pulled down 6 rebounds, and added 3 blocks.
Celtics Analysis: Looking to extend 10-game win streak
With the best record in the NBA and a 9-game winning streak, the Boston Celtics are flying into the final month of the campaign. The Celtics won 117-99 on Tuesday night in front of a boisterous home crowd after controlling the fourth quarter. Leading the way with 31 points, Jaylen Brown was joined by teammate All-Star Jayson Tatum, who added 29 points, including 15 in the 4th quarter, as the dominant Celtics defeated the Sixers for the 3rd game in a row this year. With the absence of All-Star center Joel Embiid, the Celtics outrebounded the Sixers 56–28 in the paint. Against the Mavs on Friday night, the Celtics aim to extend their winning streak to ten games. The two teams met in Dallas, where Boston prevailed 119-110.
