I think the Boston Celtics are poised to defeat the Mavericks and cover the spread in the process.

With plenty of rest and time to prepare, they’re physically and mentally ready.

Their home-court advantage, coupled with their standout defense, deep roster, and exceptional form, gives them a significant edge over a Dallas team that has been without home-court advantage throughout the postseason. While that makes their run all the more impressive, it must've also be taxing.

I expect the Celtics to leverage their strengths and postseason experience for a decisive victory.

4* PLAY ON THE CELTICS.
