This best-of-seven-games series will finish off either at Game 6 (May 25 for the East and May 26 for the West) or Game 7 (May 27 in the Eastern Conference and May 28 for the West),
The NBA Finals are always one of the most watched sporting events of the year and 2018 will see the Cleveland Cavaliers take on last year’s winners The Golden State Warriors.
The Cavaliers were the Eastern Conference champions whilst the Golden State Warriors came through some tricky ties to emerge as the Western Conference champions.
These two rivals are meeting in the final for the fourth consecutive time although neither were the top seeds in their respective conferences. The Warriors were 4-1 winners in 2017 whilst the Cavaliers emerged victorious in 2016.
LeBron James is taking part in his eighth consecutive NBA Finals and is likely to have a huge impact on the outcome once again. The Cavaliers finished the season with a 50-32 record, finishing fourth but have once again displayed their aptitude for the play-off format.
The Warriors finished the season with a 58-24 record, securing them second place in the Western Conference.

How did they get here?

Results – Cavaliers 4-3 Pacers
Cavaliers 4-0 Raptors
Cavaliers 4-3 Celtics
Golden State Warriors – The Warriors made a wonderful start to the play-offs with a 4-1 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. They equally as dominant against the New Orleans Pelicans, running out 4-1 winners. The Houston Rockets provided a much stiffer challenge but the Warriors won 101-92 in game 7 to secure their place in the 2018 NBA Final.
Results – Warriors 4-1 Spurs
Warriors 4-1 Pelicans
Warriors 4-3 Rockets
Strong Contenders for the NBA Finals MVP Title
The next big question is who will be crowned the NBA Finals MVP. If LeBron manages to push his team through after the rough year they have had, there is no question that he will pull a stellar game in the Finals. Warriors camps, the race is tighter, with legends like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving all potential contenders for the spot. But if the Rockets manage to advance, James Harden who has emerged as a true leader this season will be hard to beat for the award – although his teammate Chris Paul is also a possible nominee, having pulled Houston through in Game 5.
