Mavericks vs Celtics Fantasy NBA: The Dallas Mavericks will enter the game after beating the Memphis Grizzlies by double digits behind a 29 points performance by Tim Hardaway Jr. On the other hand, the Boston Celtics will hit the floor after losing an OT game against the New Orleans Pelicans despite a 32 points performance by Jayson Tatum. More information about the DAL vs BOS Dream11 fixture will be related here.
Mavericks’ season: The Mavericks still holds a losing record and that is a surprise as they have one of the premium players in Luka Doncic, however, injuries have derailed their campaign and it is only a month that they are fielding a full-strength squad. Dallas will need to right their ship soon in an extremely competitive Western Conference.
Celtics’ season: The Celtics have looked a bit off-color and have let teams sneak games away despite being in a strong position. The Celtics are still figuring out their pieces and the injury to Marcus Smart has made their perimeter defense significantly lax. Kemba Walker is still finding his form but the Celtics need to improve their NBA Standings as it doesn’t reflect the squad they have on paper.

The Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics have both found it hard to build consistency, partly because of injuries and mostly because they lack the edge required of an elite squad to overcome opponents regularly. The Mavericks rely way too much upon Luka Doncic and the rest of the squad has not gained cohesion. This game will test the mettle of both teams as they both have struggled to start the season.
