The Boston Celtics’ nine-game winning streak ended against the Chicago Bulls on Monday night, but they'll return home Wednesday and look to rebound against Luka Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks. 

Dallas comes off a loss to the Denver Nuggets, 98-97, making it the 11th time in 12 games that the Mavs have failed to cover.

Can they go on the road, cover and get a big win? Or will they drop two straight heading into Turkey Day?

Mavericks vs. Celtics Prediction and Pick

The Mavericks are 10th in offensive rating and are still over 6 points behind the Celtics’ offense. Boston has an extra gear that Dallas is only able to get to with a barrage of three-pointers. 

Boston has won nine of its last 10 games and I expect for them to get back on track against Dallas. 

As long as Dallas has Dončić in the lineup, they have a chance in the game. The Mavericks are 2-3 ATS on the road and 1-4 SU on the road. On the other hand, Boston is 6-1 SU at home while being 4-3 ATS in that spot. 

Dallas has a solid offense and Boston isn’t as reliable ATS at home as it is SU, so let’s back the Mavericks tonight.
