2024 NBA Finals predictions: Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks

40 of the 72 expert predictions we found are picking the Boston Celtics to win the 2024 NBA Finals over the Dallas Mavericks.

Scoreboard Page: Celtics in 5. There’s a lot of talk about Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, but somehow not enough about Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. That will be rectified after the Boston dynamic duo takes over the NBA Finals and quickly leads the Celtics back to the mountaintop with their 18th championship. The C’s will not allow Irving to come into Boston and take a title. Instead, the win gives Al Horford the ring he deserves and the loudest fans in the NBA a recharge – and peace of mind.
