DALLAS MAVERICKS VS. BOSTON CELTICS GAME 5 PREDICTION
The Celtics are looking to hold their 18th championship tonight at home where they went 37-4 at The Garden during the regular season. The Celtics are averaging 100.5 PPG during this series where they averaged 120.6 PPG during the season.
Jaylen Brown seems to be the star of the show during the Finals putting up 20.8 PPG, 4.8 APG, 1.5 SPG, and 1 BPG. Brown has been putting in solid minutes (37 MPG) and executing at a high rate. Although people say that this is Jayson Tatum's team, it seems to be Brown's series.
Last game, the Mavericks won 122-84 while they shot 50.5% from the field and 40.5% from behind the arc. The Celtics looked checked out, but did they just want to come back to The Garden to win it on their home-court? I think that is probably a reach of a statement, but I do think that the Celtics win, and win big tonight!
The Mavericks will not shoot anywhere near that percentage that they did in Game 4, and the Celtics will hold them around 100 points tonight. I would not be surprised if the Celtics win tonight by 10+ points!
Take the Celtics -6.5 tonight! Let's cash!
