After an uncompetitive NBA Finals in 2024, hoops fans are hoping for a long series this time around. 

Several teams have upset the basketball betting markets during the playoffs, with numerous future Hall of Famers falling in the early rounds. 

When Are the 2025 NBA Finals?

The 2025 NBA Finals tip off on June 7. Teams have more time to rest than in earlier rounds, with more days off between games. 

If the series goes beyond four games, Game 5 will be played on June 16, followed by Games 6 and 7 on June 19 and June 22.

2025 NBA Finals Schedule

Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals will take place on June 7. The teams have Friday and Saturday off before playing Game 2 on Sunday evening.

There is only one day off between Games 3 and 4, due to be played on June 11 and June 13. 

If the series reaches a fifth game, teams have June 14 and June 15 off, which will include a travel day. Game 5 is scheduled for June 16 before a potential Game 6 on June 19 and Game 7 on June 22. The NBA Finals haven’t gone to a Game 7 since the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Golden State Warriors in 2016.

Who Was in the NBA Finals in 2024?

The Boston Celtics faced the Dallas Mavericks in the 2024 NBA Finals. Boston won the series in five games, securing the franchise’s 18th title.

Dallas hadn’t reached the Finals since the Mavericks won the title in 2011. Their NBA championship odds lengthened considerably during the 2024-25 NBA regular season when they traded Luka Doncic.
