Boston has won three games in a row against some decent teams in Atlanta, Oklahoma City and Houston by an average score 14.7 points. Isaiah Thomas scored 23 points in Monday's win against the Rockets and Avery Bradley added 21. Jae Crowder, a former Maverick, contributed 16 points as the Celtics shot 47.3 percent from the field. Thomas leads his team with a 21.0 scoring average and 6.3 assists per game. Jared Sullinger grabs 8.9 rebounds per game. Dallas has won four in a row, including a hard-fought 92-86 win over winless Philadelphia on Monday. This will be the Mavericks' third road game in five days. Dirk Nowitzki had 21 points and Chandler Parsons had 20 in Monday's game in which the Mavericks shot only 39.5 percent from the field. Dallas is 6-15 ATS its last 21 road games dating to last season. Both teams are hot, but the Celtics at home against a possible tired Dallas squad makes this a play on the Celtics on the moneyline.
