Boston (76-20) is the 10th team to enter the NBA Finals with at least 75 wins and 20 or fewer losses. The first nine teams are 8-1 in the NBA Finals, with the 2016 Warriors owning the sole loss.<\/p>\n<p>Tatum and Brown deserve the majority of the credit, combining for averages of 51.0 points, 14.3 rebounds, 8.5 assists, and 2.2 steals. However, Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/kristaps-porzingis-boston-celtics-center-play-in-nba-finals\/\">Kristaps Porzingis<\/a> have elevated Boston to a title favorite. Boston finished first in offensive rating \u2014 122.2 points per 100 possessions \u2014 and second in defensive efficiency \u2014 110.6 points per 100 possessions.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Porzingis, the Celtics center is expected to play in Game 1. Porzingis has been sidelined for over a month with a calf injury.<\/p>\n<p>The Celtics have the better teams, but the Mavericks possess the best player, Doncic.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old is one of the best playoff performers in NBA playoff history. This postseason, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/team\/stats\/_\/name\/dal\">Doncic leads the Mavericks<\/a> in points (28.8), rebounds (9.6), assists (8.8), and steals (1.6).<\/p>\n<p>Besides Doncic, Dallas is in the finals thanks to the spectacular play of Irving. The one-time NBA champion is averaging 22.8 points in the playoffs and serving as the perfect &#8220;Robin&#8221; to Luka's &#8220;Batman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dallas is a completely different team after acquiring P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford<span class=\"font10\"> at the trade deadline. The Mavs finished the regular season on a 21-8 run with those two players in the lineup and parlayed that success into an NBA Finals appearance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2024 NBA Finals Schedule: Games, Dates, And Times<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">MAVERICKS.
