As the Dallas Mavericks prepare for Game 3 of the 2024 NBA Finals, they are facing a difficult situation as they are trailing 2-0 against the Boston Celtics. However, they have a home court advantage in the upcoming game on Wednesday, which will be played at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
Despite this advantage, the Mavericks are up against NBA history, which shows that teams with a 2-0 lead in the Finals have only won the series 13.9% of the time. This puts additional pressure on Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving to step up their game and secure a win for their team.
Unfortunately, Kristaps Porziņģis will not be available for Game 3 due to a rare injury. This means that more responsibility will fall on Dončić and Irving to score points and keep their team competitive. The Mavericks will need all the support they can get in order to avoid falling behind 3-0 with Game 4 coming up on Friday night.
To stay updated on all the action of Game 3 of the NBA Finals, follow along with NBA experts Jason Fischer, Vincent Goodwill, and Ben Rohrbach as they provide live updates and analysis throughout the game. With so much at stake for both teams, it’s sure to be an exciting showdown!
