1.88Tip and bets
Boston is approaching the game with Dallas as a clear favorite. According to bookmaker analysts, the guest team will have very few chances of success. That's the way it is. The Mavericks faced a game crisis in the middle of the season due to the long-term injury to Doncic and other leaders. Now the situation of the team has worsened even more. Mazzulla's wards will have to achieve a confident victory with the support of their fans over a dismantled opponent.
Our forecast is for Boston to win with a head start (-9.5) points, including overtime in 1.72

Our forecast is a total of less than 227.5 points, including overtime in 2.05

The team from the Gulf State will show from the very first minutes that they are not going to upset their audience and will confidently come out ahead in the score.
