The Dallas Mavericks finally picked up their first win of the 2024 NBA Summer League on Friday afternoon, beating the Boston Celtics 101-90. The Celtics once again played without some of their top talent, such as Neemias Queta and Jaden Springer, but the Mavericks were also without Brandon Williams. In his absence, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and A.J. Lawson both had great outings for the Mavericks.

Prosper had his best game of the Summer League, scoring 22 points while shooting 8/14 from the floor, and adding in 4 assists. Lawson was hot on Prosper’s tail with 21 points and 4 rebounds. Prosper had a few rough games to start the Summer League but this is a much-needed bounce-back game from the young forward from Marquette, as the Mavs are hoping he can show enough to be a part of the rotation next season.

Dallas lost in a close match against the Utah Jazz to start the Summer League but then got blown out by the Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat. The Celtics dropped to 2-2 with their loss and they were led in scoring by Jaelen House, the son of former Celtic Eddie House, with 18 points. Their most recent first-round pick Baylor Scheierman wasn’t far behind with 15 points.

The Mavericks have a quick turnaround, playing the Oklahoma City Thunder at 10 p.m. CST on Saturday.
