The Celtics travel to Dallas on Sunday to play the Mavs and will be full of confidence after Friday’s big win.
Jaylen Brown scored 17 points to lead six Boston scorers in double figures as the visiting Celtics routed Miami, using an impressive defensive effort to snap the Heat's five-game winning streak.
Dennis Schroder scored 14 points, Aaron Nesmith had 13 and Romeo Langford chipped in 12 for Boston, who won their second straight game following a three-game losing streak.
Al Horford and Jayson Tatum had 10 points apiece for the Celtics, whose four wins have all come on the road as they improved to a 4-5 record.
The Mavericks come into Sunday’s game with a 5-3 record but have lost to both the Nuggets and the Heat in the past seven days.
While Luka Doncic will again be the main man for Dallas, guard Jalen Brunson has been in fine scoring touch in recent games while Tim Hardaway Jr has also been a big contributor for the Jason Kidd-coached outfit.
Kidd should also get Latvian superstar Kristaps Porzingis back from injury with the lanky centre missing the past four games.
Boston could be without Brown for the matchup after he was removed from the match in the fourth quarter of Friday’s clash against Miami with hamstring tightness.
Coach Ime Udoka said Brown would be re-examined Friday.
Tatum will be looking to bounce back for Boston on Sunday after shooting 3-13 in the win against the Heat.
He has averaged 24.3 points a game so far this season and is the Celtics' top scorer with 204 points from 9 starts.
