The Boston Celtics have a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks, yet the series heads to Texas now. Luka and the boys absolutely need to win this one and stay in contention for the title.
Boston Celtics News
The Cs are on fire, and we mean it. Jaylen Brown is the man who took matters into his own hands, and so far, he is the top favorite for the NBA Finals MVP award. Not only because of his points but also because of his defense and highlights, which undoubtedly pump Boston’s confidence. So far, we’ve seen him trash the Mavs on both ends of the floor.
Jrue Holiday had a perfect Game 2, shooting 11-for-14 from the field, with 26 points and 11 boards, without a single turnover. What do you want more from a point guard? Derrick White added 18, proving to be a missing piece in the Celtics’ championship puzzle and an x-factor in the playoffs.
Dallas Mavericks News
Kyrie needs to show up as soon as possible because he won’t have too many chances to win another championship. Uncle Drew is unrecognizable, and our assumption that the Cs are going to pressure him, not Luka, turned out to be right. This was his 12th consecutive loss vs. Boston, and that’s becoming a mental barrier for him.
Luka does his thing, and in Game 2, he posted a triple-double: 32 points with 11 boards and assists each, yet he had eight turnovers, which is a big, big minus. Kyrie had 16, PJ Washington 17, and Daniel Gafford 13 with nine boards. The bench contributed only nine buckets, and that needs to change.
Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks Game 3 Betting Tips
The line for the totals is 212.5 points, and given the fact that Dallas needs to step up on the offensive side of the ball, we expect them to be more aggressive on that side and to even speed up the game because, in positional attack, they don’t have too many chances against the Cs. That’s why we pick over.
