Jayson Tatum Celtics Home Game
Dallas Mavericks vs Boston Celtics Picks and Predictions: Tatum's Comeback Night Is Already Priced In

The Boston Celtics (41-21), sitting first in the Atlantic Division, host the Dallas Mavericks (21-41) at TD Garden on Friday, March 6, tipping off at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN, with Jayson Tatum listed as questionable for what would be his season debut after tearing his Achilles last May, Cooper Flagg returning to action last night for the first time in eight games only to absorb a 115-114 gut-punch loss to the Magic on a buzzer-beater in Orlando, and Dallas now limping into Beantown on the second night of a back-to-back with a five-game losing streak and two more bodies unavailable, as Boston opens as a 14.5 to 15.5-point favorite in a matchup that is fundamentally about one question: can the Celtics run up a margin this large against a team depleted enough to get embarrassed but experienced enough to stay out of the garbage-time spiral?
