Key to the Dallas success until now has been Luka Doncic, who has been superb throughout the season. The Slovenian almost single-handily sunk the Suns in the previous round with a stunning 35-point performance, marking the first time the Mavs have reached this stage since 2011.
The Warriors, meanwhile, made the Conference Finals by battled past Denver and Memphis. Steph Curry has unsurprisingly led the way with Golden State's scoring, notching up an impressive 26.9 points per game, ably abetted by the equally free-scoring Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole.

How to watch the Mavericks vs Warriors from outside your country
Scroll down for all the ways you can watch NBA basketball online in a number of countries around the world. But first, you should know that if you're abroad at any point during the playoffs, you probably won't be able to watch the hoops like you normally would at home.
This is because of geo-blocking, a digital restriction that means certain streaming services are only accessible in the region they're based in.
When this is the case, the simplest and most reliable solution is to use a VPN service to change your IP address to a difference location. This will generally let you tune in to your local coverage, just as you would from home, and means you don't have to trawl the sketchier corners of the internet for an illegal stream.
