Boston Celtics vs Dallas Mavericks

The Celts play host to the new-look Mavs outfit, although Anthony Davis looks set to miss out through injury.

Boston have already blown through the Mavs in Dallas two weeks ago, with Tatum, White and Brown all dropping 20+ points in a 15-point victory.

The Celts have won nine of the last 10 games against the Mavericks, while covering the line in eight of these fixtures, seven as favourites.

I’m backing the Mavs to get worse before they get better, taking the Celts to cover at home.

Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors

No Davis, no problem.

The LA Lakers have won their last three games without AD, with LeBron and Austin Reeves taking up the slack on the offensive end.

Meanwhile, the Dubs are set to play the 2nd of back-to-back fixtures here, and are 2-8 when entering a game with a rest disadvantage, with the like of Steph and Green struggling to back up.

Alternatively, the Lakers are 8-6 when starting a game with a rest advantage, and are 16-6 on their home court this season.

I’m taking LeBron and co to continue their dominance at the Crypto.com arena, covering the line against the Warriors.
