Fanduel Odds

Both of these teams have been mediocre as of late, and have not played up to their expectations this year. The Celtics especially. Both Tatum and Doncic have had good seasons, and they are both really catching their stride at this point in the season. Tonight I think they both have great games. The Celtics have had trouble figuring out how to play together with 3 stars who command the ball on their team, while the Mavericks haven’t had enough pieces to help Doncic out. I believe the Celtics will win tonight if Jaylen Brown is out (he is questionable), because it will allow Tatum and Kemba to play to their strengths and not worry about sharing the ball as much. They also have home court advantage, and are desperate to find some wins. They lost on a buzzer beater to the Mavericks earlier this season, and I think they will look for revenge tonight. Take the Celtics Money Line, Jayson Tatum over 24.5 points, and Luka Doncic over 29.5 points.
