NBA Match of the Night: Mavericks vs. Celtics

The Boston Celtics are on a tear. They are taking down their competition methodically, with superior offense. They have now gone three straight and are currently in fourth place in the Eastern Division. They face the Mavs tonight, which will be one of their toughest games to date.

Much like the Celtics, the Mavericks have won four games straight, but are dominating their opponents with stellar defense. They have limited their opposition to a mere 39.5 percent shooting over their current win streak and in their last game forced 27 turnovers. Led by Nowitzki and Parsons, the Mavs are deserving of their third place position in the West and have their eyes set on a higher position.

Parsons is still recovering from a knee injury and the Mavs are limiting his time on the court. That being said he was still able to score 20 points last game even with being limited to 20 minutes at one time. "I know I'm coming out when I get to that 20-minute mark," said Parsons. "Hopefully extend it out in Boston and see how it feels." The Mavericks have beat the Celtics five straight times and with Dirk Nowitzki on the court it has been nine straight.
