Analyzing past games reveals that the Mavericks have been showing signs of strong offensive and defensive plays. In their last match against the Celtics, despite falling short with 88 points to Boston's 106, they demonstrated resilience and strategic gameplay. Their scoring efficiency from within the paint stood out as they made 21 out of 34 attempts (62 percent), showcasing their ability to penetrate defenses effectively.


Another notable aspect of their play has been their three-point shooting. Although hitting only 30 percent from beyond the arc in that game might seem modest, it's an area where they've historically excelled and could prove pivotal in breaking down Boston's defense.

Defensively, however, there are areas for improvement. The team allowed 106 points against them in their previous encounter with the Celtics. This indicates a need for tightening up defensively if they wish to counteract Boston's potent offense effectively.


The venue itself adds another layer of intrigue to this matchup. Playing away at TD Garden is always challenging due to its vibrant atmosphere and passionate fans. The Mavericks will need not only skill but also mental fortitude if they're going to overcome this obstacle.
