Key Factors
Favors Over
This year when they are the visiting team, the opposition's starting SGs have tallied 2.8 threes per game (3rd-highest in the NBA) vs. the Mavericks, marking this as a good matchup.
The Celtics are expected to see an increase in opportunities today from squaring off against the most up-tempo pace home offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Dallas Mavericks).
The Boston Celtics rank as the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce new chances for scoring and assists).
Favors Under
The most lethargic pace offense in the NBA this year has been the Celtics.
As a team, the Celtics have been bad at getting to the free-throw line: worst in the NBA this year, averaging just 18.8 foul shots per game.
The matchup against the Dallas Mavericks may be a hard one for getting to the charity stripe; the other team's starting SGs have attempted a mere 1.8 free throws per game over the last 10 games (6th-least in the NBA).
