Boston and Dallas clash in the NBA Finals. Boston boasts an impressive playoff record of 12 wins and 2 losses (average 111.4 points - 101.3 points allowed), showcasing overwhelming strength to reach the Finals. They ranked 2nd in offensive rating and 3rd in defensive rating among the 16 teams that made the playoffs. In terms of balance between offense and defense, they are undoubtedly the best. They are currently on a 7-game winning streak (average 115.1 points - 106.3 points allowed) since the third game of the second round and have an overwhelming home record (43 wins and 6 losses combined in regular and playoff games). Jayson Tatum (average 26.0 points, 10.4 rebounds, 5.9 assists in playoffs) and Jaylen Brown (25.0 points) are performing exceptionally well as a one-two punch, and the contributions of Derrick White (17.8 points) and Jrue Holiday (12.7 points) on both ends cannot be overlooked. With adequate rest, it’s also reported that Kristaps Porziņģis has recovered from injury and is expected to play in Game 1.
Dallas has a playoff record of 12 wins and 5 losses (average 107.9 points - 103.8 points allowed). What was especially surprising is that they wrapped up the Western Conference Finals against Minnesota in just 5 games. They are currently on a 5-game winning streak on the road (average 11.2 points - 103.6 points allowed). The duo of Luka Dončić (28.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 8.8 assists) and Kyrie Irving (22.8 points, 5.2 assists) is formidable, and players like Washington (13.6 points, 6.7 rebounds), Green, and Lively have each emerged as surprise stars in every game, keeping opponents on their toes. In the head-to-head matchups over the last two seasons, Boston has swept all 4 games (average 126.5 points - 106.8 points allowed), demonstrating overwhelming results and content. One cannot deny that Boston is favored in this matchup. However, throughout this playoff, Dallas has delivered unexpected results, overcoming much tougher opponents compared to Boston to reach the Finals. While I predict a Boston victory, Dallas will likely cover the handicap. For the over/under game, I recommend 'over'.
