Sometimes a team comes into the regular season understanding fully that they’re in a rebuilding mode. In those cases, you hope that a star player who’s still left can maybe elevate the team and help them to win a respectable number of games while the roster is reconfigured. But best-case scenarios rarely come true, and a month into a season the adjective changes from “rebuilding” to “terrible”. We’ve got a matchup featuring a team in that predicament on tonight’s slate of games.

Safe to say that Dirk Nowitzki did not foresee the twilight of his Association career playing out the way it has in 2017. He and his Dallas Mavericks teammates were hoping to finesse their way to a .500 finish while turning their roster around, but even that looks like pure fantasy now. They’ve been playing poorly, and tonight host the East-leading Boston Celtics. The swarm is all in here with a high confidence pick that was backed up with naming this game their play of the night.
