The third game was the first for the Mavericks in the final series. The team got off to a strong start, leading by double digits at the start of the game, but the first half was only +1. Then Dallas trailed by 21 points, but nearly came back in the end. A sixth foul and Luka Doncic's suspension prevented the comeback. The Mavs blew the lead, lost 99:106 and came one step closer to losing the series.
The suspension for six fouls was the first of Doncic's career. That said, there are few questions about the Slovenian in the finals. Doncic leads both teams in all key metrics - 29.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists per game.
Boston
The Celtics are just one win away from the title. Kristaps Porzingis again did not participate in the third game, suffering another injury. At the same time, Xavier Tillmann, who essentially replaced Porzi, came off the bench well - 3 points and 4 rebounds in 11 minutes with a +9 assist-to-turnover ratio.
We can't say that Boston is a killer team. The Celtics nearly blew a 21-point fourth quarter lead in their previous game. However, Joe Mazzulla's team is far superior to all of their opponents in class this season, which is enough to lead them to the Finals even if they don't play their best.
Expert Betting Tips
The Celtics' advantage in the Finals series is large. The team plays unevenly, but time after time they add at the right moment, leaving Luka Doncic and company out of the picture. We believe that the situation will not change in the fourth game, and Boston will close out the finals dry.
