Celtics head coach Brad Stevens will likely through a mix of defenders at James in an attempt to slow him down, including Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Semi Ojeleye and Marcus Morris. Ahead of Game 1, Morris said he was likely the second best defender in the league to guard James.

"I'm a little older, a little more experienced. Personally, I think I'm probably the best guy defending him in the league, outside of Kawhi," Morris said, according to ESPN.

The Cavs, who seem to have scrubbed off a shaky start to the postseason, look to fend off Celts -- and compete in their fourth straight NBA Finals. LeBron James will lead the Cavs to his eighth straight finals appearance, 4-1 -- Christopher Brito

In the most anticipated playoff matchup, the Rockets will host the Warriors in a battle set to be defined by each team's offensive prowess.

The question remains: will the Rockets have enough, even with MVP favorite James Harden? Likely not. The Warriors advance, 4-2. -- Christopher Brito
