Celtics vs Mavericks Quick Bet to Make
Luka Dončić is our guy for tonight. We are going with him getting at least 32 points. Looking at the regular season, Luka has gone over this line in every close game. He has also gone over this line both times this year against the Celtics. Being the primary scorer for the Mavericks, we expect Luka to take many shots and hit those as well. In the last game against the Celtics, Luka scored 37 points in Boston. In the series against the Timberwolves, Luka has gone over this line 4/5 times.
That being said, Luka scoring at least 32 points is a value bet,
Value bet/ the best odds: Luka Dončić over 31.5 points @-113 @FanDuel
Current Form
The Celtics have won 7 straight games. We could argue that their playoff run this year was one of the easiest runs the team ever had. In the first round, the Celtics won against the Heat 4-1. The Heat were without Jimmy Butler in that series. After that, the Celtics won against the Cavaliers 4-1. The Cavaliers were without Donovan Mitchell for the last two games. In the conference final, the Celtics swept the Pacers 4-0. The Pacers were without Tyrese Haliburton in the last two games. We do not want to give away anything from their run. We need to remember that the Celtics had the best record in the regular season and that they were also the biggest favorites to lift the title before the playoffs started.
The Mavericks have won six of their last seven games. Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving had a tough first round matchup against the Clippers. However, they played incredibly well together and won the series 4-2. After that, the Mavericks closed the series against the top seeded Thunder 4-2 as well. In the conference final, Jason Kidd found an answer on how to guard Anthony Edwards. Once they did that, it was all going well for the Mavericks, who won the series 4-1 in the end. It was a hard battle in the West, but the Mavericks showed that they have the best team chemistry.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, the Celtics were big favorites in the first game. We believe that the Mavericks are well rested, and ready for them. We are not sure if they can steal the first game, but we believe that Luka Dončić and his teammates will keep that first game really close.
That being said, the Mavericks covering the games handicap is a value bet.
Value bet/ the best odds: Dallas Mavericks +6.5 @1.91 @bet365
