(NBA) Dallas vs. Boston,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -110.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Loss
The Boston Celtics are simply dismantling opponents when they win while the Dallas Mavericks are doing it with defense. The Celtics have won three straight in dominant fashion and the Mavericks have won four in a row heading into Wednesday night's matchup. Boston (6-4) looks like one of the league's most improved teams thanks to this streak that includes victories by 106-93 over Atlanta last Friday, 100-85 at Oklahoma City on Sunday and 111-95 at Houston on Monday. All of the Celtics' wins have been by at least 13 points and I like them by double digits tonight. Avery Bradley averaged 27.0 points in last season's two defeats to Dallas. The Celtics have also received a boost from Jae Crowder, who scored a season-high 16 points Monday and is averaging 10.8. Crowder will face Dallas for the second time since he was traded to Boston on Dec. 28 as part of the deal that brought Rajon Rondo to the Mavericks. Lets take the Celtics here at Home.
