The Celtics have won three in a row by a convincing margin, while the Mavericks come to town having won four in a row entering Wednesday night’s meeting. Boston’s current stretch of wins includes victories by margins of 13, 15, and 16 points dating back to Friday.
Dallas Mavericks:
The Mavericks have also played solid basketball of late, putting together their longest winning streak since January. The team managed to shoot only 39.5 percent from the floor, but still came away with a 92-86 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday.

That win moved the Mavericks to 2-0 on their current three-game road trip, which ends in Boston on Wednesday. The Mavericks forced 27 turnovers against the 76ers, the most they’ve gotten in a year, while Dirk Nowitzki and Chandler Parsons led the way at the offensive end with 21 and 20 points respectively.
Boston Celtics:
If the Celtics hope to keep their winning ways going they’ll need to figure out a way to slow Nowitzki. In dropping each of their last three meetings with the Mavericks, Boston has surrendered 22.3 points per game to Nowitzki in those contests.
