1.88Tip and bets
Dallas approaches the game with Boston as a clear underdog. According to bookmakers' analysts, the visiting team will have a much better chance of success. And that true. The Mavericks have already created a small sensation, beating Oklahoma with practically their second lineup in the previous match. Mazzulla team will have to achieve a victory over an opponent weakened by injuries.
Our prediction is a Boston victory with a handicap of (-7.5) points, taking into account overtime, at 1.81

Dallas and Boston have not shown very high performance in their personal meetings this season. The average indicator for the last ten games is 211 points. Everything is going to the fact that this time both teams will not be able to please fans with an attacking and spectacular game.
Our prediction is under 220.5 points including overtime at 2.05
First quarter bet
Boston has lost the first quarter in four of its last five meetings with Dallas. The Celtics, no doubt, will do everything possible to achieve victory after an unsuccessful trip to the City of Angels. The team from Massachusetts will show from the first minutes that they are not going to upset their fans and will confidently take the lead in the score.
Our prediction is Boston win in the first quarter at 1.63
