How do both teams arrive?
The Boston team started the new tournament well, this year they are once again a strong team competing in the Eastern Conference. They had a good start to the 2023-2024 season, with 46 games won and 12 lost, they are in first place in the Eastern Conference. Their last game was on February 27, 2023 and resulted in a 117-99 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers at TD Garden and thus won another game in the season. They come as favorites to win this game and win because of the incredible team they have and the good time they are going through. They have an advantage in Thursday's game by playing at home and that their fans can support them.
On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks are on a winning streak, with 34 games won and 25 lost, they established themselves in seventh place in the Western Conference. Last tournament they were left out of the playoffs, they made several changes to the team and they hope that this season they can compete to qualify directly for the playoffs. Their last game was on February 28 against the Toronto Raptors, where the Mavs won 136-125 at the Scotiabank Arena and thus the Dallas Mavericks achieved another victory in the tournament. They arrive as the least favorites to win the game, but they could surprise and win the match because they are a good team from the Western Conference and because of the experience their players have.
