In this story:

Friday night at TD Garden, the Boston Celtics host Luka Doncic and the surging Dallas Mavericks.

The visitors have won eight of their last ten tilts, pulling themselves half a game behind the sixth-seeded New Orleans Pelicans for the final playoff spot that won't have to compete in the play-in tournament in the Western Conference.

The hosts of Friday's clash are an NBA-leading 46-12. They're also aiming for their tenth straight victory.

Boston bested Dallas 119-110 in their first meeting this season in a matchup where Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 73 points.

As the Celtics try to keep their win streak alive and sweep their regular season series with the Mavericks, after initially submitting a clean sheet for an injury report, Oshae Brissett is now questionable for the contest due to personal reasons.

The scheduled tip-off for Friday night's game is 7:30 EST.

Update: Oshae Brissett, who went through his standard pregame routine beforehand, is available for Friday's matchup against the Mavericks.
