Dallas Celtics Host Boston Mavericks in Game 3 of NBA Finals
Celtics Maintain 2-0 Lead Despite Injuries
The Dallas Mavericks will host the Boston Celtics on Wednesday evening for Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals. The Celtics currently hold a 2-0 lead in the series, but they will be facing a depleted Mavericks team due to injuries.
Celtics star Luka Doncic is listed as questionable for Game 3 with a thoracic contusion. Porzingis, another key player for the Celtics, is also questionable with a left Posterior Tibialis dislocation.
Mavs Seek Equalizer Despite Injuries
Despite the injuries, the Mavericks remain hopeful that they can tie the series in Game 3. They will need to find a way to slow down the Celtics' high-powered offense, which has averaged 120 points per game in the first two games of the series.
The Mavericks will also need to make the most of their opportunities on offense, as they have struggled to shoot the ball efficiently in the Finals so far. If they can put together a strong performance in Game 3, they will have a chance to even the series and put the Celtics on notice.
Celtics Look to Extend Lead
The Celtics, on the other hand, will be looking to extend their lead to 3-0 in the series. They have played well defensively in the first two games, holding the Mavericks to under 100 points in both games.
If the Celtics can continue to play well defensively and get enough production from their offense, they will be in good position to take a commanding 3-0 lead in the Finals.
Game 3 is Crucial for Both Teams
Game 3 of the NBA Finals is a crucial game for both teams. The Mavericks need to win to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole, while the Celtics need to win to put themselves on the brink of their 18th NBA championship.
The game is expected to be close and competitive, and it could ultimately play a major role in determining who wins the 2024 NBA Finals.
