Boston leads the best-of-seven series 3-1, needing just one more win to capture a league-record 18th championship. 

Here is everything you need to know, along with our top picks.

8:30 p.m. ET Dallas Mavericks (1-3) vs. Boston Celtics (3-1)

Spread: Celtics (-6.5) | Moneyline: Mavericks (+220), Celtics (-270) | Total: 209.5 | Location: TD Garden in Boston, MA | How to Watch: ABC, fubo (live stream)

Dallas showed tremendous fight in Game 4, throttling Boston 122-84 and avoiding the sweep, the 38-point margin of victory the third-largest in Finals history. The Celtics will now look to put that embarrassing effort behind them and celebrate a title on their home floor. Oddsmakers like the C’s chances, with Boston currently booked as a 6.5-point favorite. In fact, since 2005, teams that have lost a Finals matchup by 30 points or more are 4-0 SU and 4-0 ATS the following contest (courtesy of Bet Labs). I believe Boston will continue that trend and close things out with a bounce-back performance.
