Skip Bayless Shares His Game 1 NBA Finals Prediction

In a bold prediction, Skip Bayless believes that the Dallas Mavericks will secure a win in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics, despite playing on the road in front of a fired-up Boston crowd. On the show “Undisputed,” Bayless expressed his confidence in the Mavericks’ ability to come out on top in the series, even suggesting they could win the championship.

Bayless pointed out that the Celtics had an easier path to the Finals, facing short-handed teams like the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Indiana Pacers. In contrast, the Mavericks have been battling tough, fully healthy teams in the Western Conference. Despite Luka Doncic nursing a knee injury, Bayless believes the Mavericks have what it takes to overcome the Celtics.

While some may doubt the Mavericks’ chances due to their recent rest, Bayless remains steadfast in his belief that they can perform well on the road. He highlighted Doncic’s fearlessness and readiness for the moment, emphasizing the team’s ability to push back against adversity.

Although most betting sites favor the Celtics to win Game 1 and potentially the series, a Mavericks victory would be a significant upset and provide them with valuable momentum. As the anticipation builds for the highly anticipated matchup, all eyes will be on whether Bayless’ prediction will come to fruition on Thursday night.
