The Boston Celtics have been the team to beat all season, finishing with a 64-18 record. They haven’t slowed down in the playoffs, defeating the Heat and Cavaliers in five games. Then, Boston swept the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

It’ll be the second Finals appearance in three years for the Celtics. This time, they’re an overwhelming favorite behind an offense that features Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White.

The NBA Finals also marks the return of Kristaps Porzingis. He suffered a calf injury in the first round but will return for Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

All season, the Western Conference focused on a three-way battle between the Nuggets, Thunder, and Timberwolves. The Mavericks flew under-the-radar, but they surged after the trade deadline and now make their first Finals appearance since 2011.
