At 9:30 on January 23, Beijing time, in the 2023-2024 NBA regular season, the Mavericks hosted the Celtics. At the end of the first half, the Mavericks trailed by 7 points at 59:65, and the Mavericks were still suppressed by the Green Army when they came back in the second half.
The Celtics are a little higher in all numbers, with the Mavericks sixth in the West, the same record as the seventh-place Suns, and a loss in this game will put them back in the play-in zone.
Comparison of the core players of the two teams
The Mavericks basically see Doncic, while the Celtics Tatum, Brown, Porzingis and White are very good, so the Mavericks can't win with Doncic alone.
