NBA Finals 2024 preview: Boston Celtics vs Dallas Mavericks

Each having made it through to the Finals in relative comfort – the Celtics have lost only two games on the way through the postseason, to the Mavs’ five – it now comes down to a best-of-7 series that could go either way.

There’s no way, however, that Brad Stevens’s Boston side won’t start as favorites. They booked their NBA playoffs spot way back on March 14 and will be confident of ending their 16-year hoodoo. Having let rivals the LA Lakers creep up on them over the last few couple of decades, they now have a golden opportunity to take the chance they squandered in 2022 to re-set the record of most championships in NBA history. It will be their 18th, if Jayson Tatum and co are successful.

But then the Texas franchise have the awesome Luka Dončić at their disposal, with the Slovenian seemingly recording triple-doubles for fun in the playoffs. He has a busy couple of months ahead, with qualification games for the Paris 2024 Olympics following hot on the heels of the NBA Finals. Could it be a golden year for the future Hall of Famer?

Whether you’re a b-ball nut or a casual fan, the NBA Finals are an annual cause to flick on the action and watch the threes rain down.
