Boston Celtics
The Celtics are incredibly close to their record 18th NBA championship. Currently, the team shares 17 titles with the Los Angeles Lakers and hasn't won the league since 2008. Boston stormed through the playoffs, with Joe Mazzulla's team defeating the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Indiana Pacers.
The entire team has been in phenomenal form throughout the season and rightfully earned their spot in the finals. Remarkably, Boston lost only two games during the playoff run.
Dallas Mavericks
Dallas doesn't have as illustrious a history as their opponent, but they too have been league champions. Their lone championship came in 2011, with the legendary Dirk Nowitzki leading the way.
Currently, the Mavericks have another superstar on their roster and a decent chance of ultimate success. Besides Doncic, Kyrie Irving has also showcased excellent form during the playoffs.
