Mavs vs Celtics prediction: Derrick White Over 25 threes -125 at DraftKings
The Dallas Mavericks are a different animal though. Luka Doncic has been absolutely dominant in these playoffs, averaging 28.8 points per game. He's also shooting 49.4% from the field and 36.2% from three-point range.
The Celtics have a lot of experience in the NBA Finals, but they'll need to be at their best to beat the Mavericks. Jason Tatum is averaging 27.0 points per game in the playoffs, and he'll need to continue to play at a high level. Jaylen Brown is also averaging 23.8 points per game, and he'll need to be a factor in the series as well.
The Mavericks are a tough matchup for the Celtics because they have so many different weapons. Doncic is a superstar, and he can score from anywhere on the court. Spencer Dinwiddie is a great scorer and playmaker, and he's been playing well in the playoffs. Christian Wood is a great rebounder and scorer, and he's been a key contributor for the Mavericks.
The Celtics are the favorites to win the NBA Finals, but the Mavericks are a dangerous team. If Doncic continues to play at a high level, the Mavericks could be a major threat to win the championship.
