Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics will hit the court on Thursday night in what promises to be a thrilling NBA Finals. Both sides know nothing short of a win will satisfy their fanbase, with Boston looking to end their 14-year NBA trophy drought. The Cs are the in-form team here after sweeping the Pacers 4-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals. They are arguably the best NBA side this season after ending the league with an incredible 64-18 win-loss record. However, Luca Doncic and the Mavericks will have their say on who’s the best this season. They battled through a tough Western Conference schedule without a home-court advantage. The Mavericks convincingly defeated the Timberwolves 4-1 in the Conference Finals to book a date with the Celtics. Dallas will hope that Kristaps Porzingis will be rusty to start for Boston, although Derrick White has been excellent in his absence. The Celtics are the 7-point favorites in this matchup.
