What to Know
The Mavericks have quite the challenge ahead of them as they’re expected to be blown off the court. Their road trip will continue as they head out to face the Boston Celtics at 7:30 p.m. ET on March 1st at TD Garden. Both teams come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Last Wednesday, Dallas earned a 136-125 win over the Raptors.
The Mavericks’ success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Luka Doncic led the charge by dropping a triple-double on 30 points, 11 rebounds, and 16 assists. Doncic is on a roll when it comes to points, as he’s now scored 26 or more in the last nine games he’s played. Kyrie Irving was another key contributor, scoring 29 points along with two steals.
Meanwhile, the Celtics came tearing into Tuesday’s matchup with eight straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 18.1 points) and they left with even more momentum. They strolled past Philadelphia with points to spare, taking the game 117-99. Winning is a bit easier when your shooting is a whole 13.3% better than the opposition, as the Celtics’ was.
The Celtics’ win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Jayson Tatum, who dropped a double-double on 29 points and 11 rebounds. Another player making a difference was Jaylen Brown, who scored 31 points along with six rebounds.
Dallas is on a roll lately: they’ve won eight of their last ten matches, which provided a nice bump to their 34-25 record this season. As for Boston, they pushed their record up to 46-12 with that win, which was their fifth straight at home.
Friday’s matchup is shaping up to be a masterclass in shooting: The Mavericks just can’t miss this season, having made 48.1% of their shots per game. However, it’s not like the Celtics struggle in that department as they’ve made 48.6% of their shots this season. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
The Mavericks came up short against the Celtics when the teams last played back in January, falling 119-110. Can the Mavericks avenge their loss or is history doomed to repeat itself? We’ll find out soon enough.

The Dallas Cowboys have been linked with Denzel Mims since he was available during the 2020 NFL draft. Through his failed attempts to establish himself within the league, a Texas reunion has been hoped for by many. In for pre-draft visits, the Cowboys were stunned away from selecting him when CeeDee Lamb fell in their laps with the No. 17 overall selection. Later, after he was unable to find strong footing with the New York Jets, the Cowboys have been linked to him in trade attempts and free-agency inquiries, with nothing coming to fruition until 2026.
Now a member of their offseason roster, Mims’ career has gone nothing like planned. He hasn’t been on an active NFL roster since 2022, spending two seasons in the UFL with the St. Louis Battlehawks and the Dallas Renegades. Neither stint has been impressive. Now, the Cowboys are giving the local product a chance to prove it’s circumstance and opportunity, not a lack of pro talent.

Profile
Mims has 42 career catches in the NFL, for 676 yards. He’s yet to reach the end zone as a professional, in either the NFL or UFL. He’ll spend his training camp battling with the bottom of the 90-man offseason roster to try and secure a role with the Cowboys in 2026. Dallas has the first four spots locked up with CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Ryan Flournoy and Kavontae Turpin. From there, it’s a true camp battle situation between veterans and youngsters alike.

ARLINGTON, Texas – A horde of Socceroo fans stormed an Arlington Walmart ahead of Australia’s World Cup match on Friday at Dallas Stadium.
A Socceroo Walmart takeover
Videos of Australian soccer fans taking over a Walmart in Arlington went viral on Monday.
The Walmart is located across the street from where the Socceroos played a World Cup match on Friday against Egypt.
Plenty of chants were heard in the videos, ranging from “We’re going to Walmart” as they entered the building to “We’re getting deported” while exiting.
The Arlington Police Department got involved to break up the impromptu rally.
Australia lost to Egypt on Friday afternoon, ending their run in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Source: Information in this story comes from social media videos.
A confrontation between Egypt’s coaching staff and a Dallas police officer at the team’s hotel sparked a viral video ahead of a World Cup match.
Egypt coach Hossam Hassan said he considered the matter resolved after he and team director Ibrahim Hassan had a physical confrontation with a police officer at the team’s hotel in Dallas.
Video began circulating Thursday, a day before Egypt beat Australia in the round of the 32 at the World Cup, showing both men arguing with a Dallas police officer, apparently over a player preparing to take a picture with a young fan in the hotel lobby.
The officer approaches Hossam Hassan first, but his interaction with Ibrahim Hassan becomes a shoving match. Ibrahim Hassan appeared to be upset at the officer intervening.
Dallas police issued a statement saying that just before midnight, officers were responding to a request from hotel security about an individual without event credentials attempting to gain access.
“It was later learned that the individuals weren’t displaying credentials properly, which is a requirement,” Dallas police said in a statement.
The statement said the issue was resolved at the scene, and that police met with Egyptian representatives to address their concerns.
Hossam Hassan said through a translator that the team had accepted an apology from the police.
“We are really happy to be here at this tournament and we are satisfied with the security personnel that are accompanying us,” Hossam Hassan said. “I would like to point to the high-level organization we have with us and the level of security we have with us.”
Hassan is the first person to play and coach for Egypt at the World Cup. The victory over Australia came in Egypt’s debut in the knockout round of the tournament.
