The Dallas Mavericks will look to snap a three-game home skid when the Boston Celtics visit American Airlines Center tonight.
Jaylen Brown has consistently been cleaning the glass, and my Celtics vs Mavericks predictions expect another productive performance as a rebounder.
Here are my best free NBA picks for this cross-conference tilt on Tuesday, February 3.
Celtics vs Mavericks prediction
Celtics vs Mavericks best bet: Jaylen Brown Over 7.5 rebounds (-105)
Jaylen Brown’s 6.9 rebounds per game tie a career-high mark, and he’s the Boston Celtics' second-leading rebounder. His work on the glass has been even more prolific over the last two weeks.
Boston’s superstar has pulled down 9.6 boards across his last seven games, reaching 8+ six times in that span, including three straight on the road.
The Dallas Mavericks have allowed the fourth-most rebounds per game this season at 46.9 and the second-most offensive rebounds at 12.4. Leading rebounder Anthony Davis (11.1) remains out, and second-leading rebounder P.J. Washington (7.3) will be sidelined tonight.
An already-favorable matchup gets a boost with Washington out, and I expect Brown to crash the glass with authority.
