The Celtics are the clear favorite to win the NBA Championship. Whoever they play, it will be a tough matchup. With Dallas one game away from advancing to the finals, the intrigue of seeing former Celtic Kyrie Irving will be a storyline. Luka Doncic has been outstanding hitting multiple clutch shots and is in the MVP discussion every season.

The pressure is on the Celtics and has been all season. They should see the return of former Maverick Kristaps Porzingis who was held out of Pacers series. The duo of Jayson Tatum & Brown are looking for their first championship and will be the front runners to win the finals MVP and raise banner 18.
