Is Anthony Davis Playing vs Celtics? Mavericks Reveal Full Injury Report

Davis could provide some big problems for the Celtics and he will surely be fired up to play for his new team. Like everyone else, the trade of Davis came as a big surprise to him as he wasn't expecting to be moved by the Lakers.

The big man played against the Celtics a few games ago as Los Angeles took down Boston easily. Davis put up 24 points, eight rebounds, three assists, one steal, and three blocks in the win for the Lakers.

His presence on the floor can impact both sides of the ball so Boston will need to be careful to note where he is at all times. Combining Davis and guard Kyrie Irving could make for a lethal pick-and-roll combination, giving Dallas a scary offensive attack.

But losing Doncic does hurt and it may take this team some time to fully learn how to play together. The Celtics will look to take advantage of that fact and come away with another win.

This NBA Finals rematch will draw eyes on it but Boston easily beat the Mavericks in the first meeting weeks ago. The final score was 122-107, with the Celtics coasting to a win.

Boston seems to have the number of the Mavericks but without Doncic on the roster, this is an entirely different team on the floor.
