2024 NBA Finals TV schedule: Where to watch Celtics vs. Mavericks, game times, odds with Game 2 this weekend

The 2024 NBA Finals are here, and the Boston Celtics are up 1-0 against the Dallas Mavericks. Boston had a (mostly) comfortable win in Game 1 on Thursday. The Celtics went ahead by 29 points in the first half and withstood a Luka Doncic-led Dallas surge before pulling away for good. Boston will try to make it 2-0 on Sunday as the team hosts Game 2.

Kristaps Porzingis returned from injury in Game 1 and made an immediate impact for the Celtics. Porzingis scored 18 of his 20 points in the first half and also had three of Boston’s nine blocks.

Doncic scored 30 points and had 10 rebounds in game one, but the Dallas superstar was limited to one assist. His backcourt mate Kyrie Irving struggled in Game 1, scoring only 12 points against his former team and missing all five of his 3-point attempts.

The Mavericks won their first and only championship in 2011 as Dirk Nowitzki led Dallas to the title 13 years ago. It was also their last appearance in the NBA Finals.

The Celtics have won 17 championships in their franchise history, but they actually have a longer title drought than the Mavs. Boston’s last NBA title came in 2008. The Celtics — who fell in the conference finals to the Heat last season — last made the NBA Finals in 2022, but they lost against the Warriors in six games.
