This is the second of a five-game road trek for Dallas. The Mavs run into a Boston team playing its second straight home game, and the crowd will be more fired up than usual as Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett's No. 5 will be retired to the TD Garden rafters. The Celtics are on a 16-2 SU, 10-7-1 ATS run and are ranked third in the NBA in points allowed, first in field goal shooting defense, and second at defending beyond the arc. Boston is 45-26 ATS vs. teams that allow 108+ points per game and 45-29 ATS versus teams that outscore their opponents by 3+ points per contest. Play Boston.
