Research checklist for Dallas Mavericks at Boston Celtics

- Check the final injury and availability reports for Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics close to the start.
- Check the final injury report and the expected starters before trusting a points or rebounds number.
- Compare each player’s minutes in recent games against the minutes the number implies.
- Look at pace and the likely game script: a lopsided game can cut starters’ minutes.
