This would be one of those rarer occasions when neither NBA Finalist has a regular-season MVP on the books, yet the teams in the final series of the season seem a perfect fit. Let us examine their roster and playing style while assessing their chances of winning the NBA Finals 2024.

NBA Finals 2024 Teams and Predictions

Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks will play in the NBA Finals 2024, winning the respective conferences. Boston Celtics defeated the Indiana Pacers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat to reach the NBA Finals while Dallas Mavericks had a bit tougher route to the finals with Western Conference top-seed Oklahoma City Thunder, star-studded Los Angeles Clippers, and in-form Minnesota Timberwolves in the competition for the conference title.

One thing that made the routes to the final clear is that the clinical Boston Celtics wrapped up their series early and were able to dominate the play with their defences. Dallas, on the other hand, had to rely on plays made by their star duo Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic. Check out the complete starting five of the finalist teams,

With players like Tim Hardaway Jr and Maxi Kleber coming back in the line-up, it could be a major boost for Jason Kidd, who is an offensive-minded coach and loves to unearth the capabilities of back-court players. The exact opposite can be seen in Joe Mazzulla’s strategies – who love to play defence and score on the break with Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum and Darrick White going for the baskets. Given the depth of the Boston Celtics side and also bag(s) of tricks from the Kyrie-Luka pair it is expected to be an exciting match-up. But with experience of finals and quality on the court, we can expect the Celtics to win this battle and set the record for most NBA titles (18). Check out schedule of the matches.
