Mavericks Struggle Against Celtics, Fall to 0-5 in Recent Meetings
Boston Dominates Matchups, Averaging 120.2 Points
The Dallas Mavericks have endured a five-game losing streak against the Boston Celtics, with the last four defeats coming in the regular season. In those five games, the Mavericks have averaged a mere 101.2 points per contest, while the Celtics have averaged a staggering 120.2 points. The Celtics hold a 4-1 record in their last five meetings with the Mavericks.
Celtics Control the Paint, Force Mavericks into Errors
The Celtics' dominance in the paint has been a major factor in their recent success against the Mavericks. In their last meeting, Boston outscored Dallas 60-42 in the paint and forced 15 turnovers. The Mavericks have struggled to contend with the Celtics' size and athleticism in the interior, leading to easy baskets and second-chance opportunities for Boston.
Mavs Look to Reverse Trend, Improve Defense
The Mavericks will need to find a way to slow down the Celtics' offense and limit their turnovers if they want to break their losing streak. They will also need to improve their perimeter defense, as Boston has shot over 40% from three-point range in their last two wins against Dallas.
