The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Boston Celtics in an NBA Finals rematch on Saturday evening, 122-107. While it was a disappointing result for the Mavs, there was one shining moment for them.

NBA insider believes Mavericks could trade first-round pick before deadline Zion Williamson and Klay Thompson each got off to solid starts for their respective teams, as the Pelicans and Mavericks traded buckets early on.

The Dallas Mavericks opened a five-game Eastern Conference road trip with a Wednesday night game against the New Orleans Pelicans at the Smoothie King Center.

P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford had double-doubles, four of their Dallas teammates scored in double figures and the visiting Mavericks defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 137-136.

The Dallas Mavericks were on the wrong end of a bad call in their last trip to the Big Easy exactly two weeks ago. That wasn’t the case this time around. Dallas started their longest road trip of the season on a positive note and succeeded by gutting out a 137-136 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday.

P.J. Washington scored 25 points, making all four of his 3-point attempts in the fourth quarter, and Kyrie Irving added 25 points and six assists.

Jayson Tatum scored 24 points, Derrick White added 23, including Boston’s first 11 of the third quarter, and the Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks 122-107 on Saturday night in the first meeting between the teams since the NBA Finals.

Grimes was chosen with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and had his rights traded on draft night to the New York Knicks, where he spent his first three seasons in the league. Last year, Grimes was dealt to the Detroit Pistons at the deadline, where he played just six games before an injury cut his season short.

If history is any indication, general manager Nico Harrison will have the Dallas Mavericks involved in the action ahead of the 2025 NBA trade deadline Feb. 6.

Coming off a season-worst loss in LA, the Celtics dominated Saturday’s NBA Finals rematch, routing the Mavericks 122-107.
