NBA Conference Finals Picks: Timberwolves vs. Mavericks, Celtics vs. Pacers.
The first game of the NBA Conference Finals between the sixth-seeded Indiana Pacers and the first-seeded Boston Celtics takes place on Tuesday night.
Then, on Wednesday night, the No. 5 seeded Dallas Mavericks and the No. 3 seeded Minnesota Timberwolves square off in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
There have been many surprises in the 2024 NBA postseason, and in around a month, a champion who hasn’t won the championship in at least ten years will be crowned.
With their 2011 title, the Mavericks are the most recent winners still standing, followed by the Celtics in 2008. The Timberwolves have never even made it to the NBA Finals, while the Pacers have never taken home an NBA championship.
Eastern Conference Finals prediction for the Boston Celtics versus the Indiana Pacers
Rightfully so, the Celtics are strong favorites going into Game 1 of the series on Tuesday night. Throughout the entire season, Boston was the best team in the NBA, and they have carried that success into the postseason, defeating the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers twice in a row.
