Celtics in the NBA Regular Season
The Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks have a long and storied rivalry that dates back to the early days of the NBA. The two teams have met in the playoffs 12 times, with the Celtics holding a 7-5 advantage. The Celtics have also won 17 of the 28 regular season meetings between the two teams.
One of the most memorable moments in the Celtics-Mavericks rivalry came in the 2006 NBA Finals. The Celtics won the series in six games, but the Mavericks made it a close contest. The Celtics won the first two games of the series, but the Mavericks won the next three games to take a 3-2 lead. The Celtics then won the final two games of the series to clinch the championship.
The Celtics and Mavericks are both expected to be contenders in the Eastern and Western Conferences this season. The Celtics are led by All-Stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, while the Mavericks are led by All-Star Luka Dončić. The two teams are scheduled to meet twice during the regular season, on December 25th and March 11th.
