The Boston Celtics are in Texas to take on the Dallas Mavericks for the first time this season on Monday. Boston will be playing the second night of a back-to-back set after beating the Houston Rockets 116-107 on Sunday. The Celtics will face the hosts without starting center Kristaps Porzingis who is sidelined due to a right knee inflammation.
The Mavericks, meanwhile, will be well-rested leading into their game against the Celtics. Their scheduled game on Friday versus Golden State Warriors had been postponed following the unfortunate passing of Dubs assistant coach Dejan Milojevic. Dallas will be hoping to take advantage of Boston’s short rest to beat the team with the best record (33-10) in the NBA.
Without Porzingis, the Celtics will have the veteran Al Horford to open the game. Jrue Holiday will also be returning after missing his team’s previous game due to a right elbow strain. The two will join Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Derrick White in the starting lineup. Boston will be no pushovers even if it’s on the road and playing less than 24 hours after its last game.

Grant Williams, another erstwhile member of the Green Machine, will be returning to Boston for the first time since he was traded in the offseason.
