BOS Celtics vs. DAL Mavericks

After surviving their first game without Garnett and Allen, the short-handed Celtics face a bigger challenge as they host the surging Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.

Dallas witch are smiling when they see their recent stats against Celtics are now even happier about this. Likely won't be easy for Boston if it is again without two of its top three scorers.

Mavericks has won 13 of 14 games against Boston since the 2000-2001 season and they have 7 wins in a row so this might be an easy one for them if Celtics can’t put their best lineup on the floor.

My opinion is that this game will probably be a close one. But I think that the visitors will have total control of the game.
