The Boston Celtics' victory moves them closer to one of their key goals this season: securing a spot in the NBA Playoffs. Despite the progress, Jaylen Brown addressed the team’s ongoing struggle with inconsistency.

Here is all the latest news you need to know about the Boston Celtics, including a potential trade deadline target for Boston.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown spoke to the press after the Celtics 122-107 away win against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday.

The Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics met in Dallas on Saturday for their first matchup since last season's NBA Finals. Dallas was missing many key pieces, including starters Luka Doncic and Dereck Lively II, while Boston was wrapping up a four-game road trip.

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.

All five Celtics starters scored 17 points or more, led by Jayson Tatum (24) and Derrick White (23). Boston returns home having won 3 of 4 on a road trip out West.

Mavericks center Maxi Kleber has been ruled out of the team’s game against the Boston Celtics. The team attributed the decision to a right ankle injury.

As well as Kyrie Irving has played, the hobbled Mavericks have been a bottom-seven offense over the past month, minus Luka Dončić.

The Celtics got the best of a shorthanded Mavericks squad on Saturday night in a 122-107 victory but that wasn’t the biggest loss for Dallas on the night. The team announced postgame that key reserve Maxi Kleber suffered a broken right foot in the game, depleting the frontcourt even more for the defending Western Conference champions.

Celtics star Jaylen Brown felt like his team's lack of rest played a role in their blowout loss at the hands of the rival Lakers.

The Boston Celtics ended their Western Conference road trip on Saturday, Jan. 25, with a 122-107 win over the Dallas Mavericks. This was the Celtics' third win in four road games and marked the end of another successful venture out West. Joe Mazzulla's team has been impressive on the road this season.

The defending NBA champion Boston Celtics have been inconsistent recently, but their veteran center has been on a roll.
