Ray Allen to start

Ray Allen is good to go tonight, starting at shooting guard for the C’s. He missed the previous three games with a jammed left ankle.

Allen makes Boston that much more dangerous. The Mavs certainly aren’t underestimating the Eastern Conference leaders.

“No matter how bad people say the East is, they came out West and they’ve beat quality teams on the road,” Jason Kidd said. “They’ve had a successful trip so far here in Texas and they’re for real.”
