Coming off an impressive home win on Wednesday night to the Timberwolves, the Celtics get back into action tonight against the better than expected Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks come into this game off a 38-point road win against the Charlotte Hornets. It was an impressive beat down as they started their three-game east coast trip. The last time these two teams played was back in November when the Mavericks defeated the Celtics 113-104 in Dallas. J.J. Barea went off and scored 20 points to lead the Mavs to the win.
