The Boston Celtics have been struggling lately. They’re on maybe the most brutal stretch of the season, having just caught the Los Angeles Lakers as their 5th game in 7 nights this past Thursday. Today, they find themselves in Dallas to face off against the Mavericks, now playing an early 5:30 PM EST game after back-to-back games which started at 10:30 PM and 10:15 PM respectively. Between that back-to-back and today’s game, they’ve had just one day of rest. The Celtics haven’t had much time to catch their breath, so they’ll need to take advantage of Dallas’s run-down roster.
