Boston at Dallas

Boston survived a last-gasp effort by the Mavericks, who went on a 22-2 run to nearly close a 21-point deficit in the fourth quarter, but Luka Doncic had fouled out and Dallas came up short and lost 106-99. It was the Mavericks' seventh consecutive loss to the Celtics, who are 6-0-1 ATS in those games. Boston has won 10 consecutive playoff games and the Celtics are undefeated on the road this postseason with a 7-0 record. Kristips Porzingis likely is out again, but Boston has won 10 of 11 games in the playoffs without him. The first three games have gone UNDER and the Celtics have stayed UNDER four in a row by an average of 13.6 points. Dallas is 57-45 UNDER in 2023-24. Boston is in no mood for a gentlemen's sweep after losing in the Finals in 2022 and in the Eastern Conference final last year. Boston is determined to close it out as soon as possible as well as make a statement with a four-game sweep. Take the Celtics as a Max Play Game of the Year and the UNDER.
