Whether or not the Brow suits up for his new ball club, Boston would do well to try to keep their guard up for this contest.

Dallas now navigates the post-Doncic era, adding pieces like Anthony Davis. Davis hasn’t made his Mavs debut, but that could come against the Celtics for the 7:30 p.m. Thursday game at TD Garden. Davis was upgraded to questionable on the Mavs injury report with his abdominal muscle strain.

The blockbuster trade that shook the NBA world resulting in Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic swapping teams may impact the Boston Celtics ahead of Thursday's game.

The Dallas Mavericks are still the most polarizing team of the trade deadline, and moves have been made since they dealt Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Doncic being traded to the Lakers for Davis was one of the more shocking and significant NBA trades in the past 50 years.
