THE Boston Celtics host the Dallas Mavericks at TD Garden for the first time this season, and will do so with a clean bill of health for the game for the second game in a row.
The Mavs, however, come into this contest with a few more injury issues to deal with than the Celtics. They’re currently dealing with two big men who have nose issues and a star who might not be up to the task. Those would be Derek Lively II and Maxi Kleber, who are both listed as available due to nasal fractures, and Luka Doncic, who, in addition to potentially healing from a sprained ankle, is also dealing with a broken nose.
Doncic is listed as questionable for the game.
