Only Western Conference opponents have claimed victories at TD Garden this season, can Dallas join the list? The Mavericks and Celtics close out their regular season series tonight on ESPN at 7.30 pm ET. I've done a Same Game Parlay to make things a bit more interesting.

Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
DAL Mavericks +9.5 Point Spread (-110)
Dallas ends a 4-game road trip in Boston tonight against the best team in the league and I think they are capable of keeping this game close. I know the numbers are pointing heavily towards a Celtics win here, but I have faith in Luka Doncic. On Wednesday he celebrated his 25th birthday with another masterful performance of 30 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists in a 11-point win at Toronto. Prior to that game the Mavs suffered a tough loss at Cleveland on a buzzer beating three from half-court, at some point luck has to turn their way.
