If Martin Luther King Jr. Day was any sort of a preview of this game, you'll want to tune in.
Warriors star Stephen Curry and Celtics star Jayson Tatum both put on a show on the holiday, erupting for over 40 points apiece.
Curry went off for 41 points with six 3-pointers in the Warriors' decisive win over the Wizards, receiving MVP chants from the road crowd that gave head coach Steve Kerr reminiscences of Michael Jordan.
Earlier in the day, Tatum exploded for 51 points in the Celtics' win over the Hornets, passing the great Larry Bird for the most 50-point games in franchise history.
Both superstars will look to take that momentum into the second NBA Finals rematch of the season. Golden State came away with a much-needed victory over Boston in The Bay back in early December, so the Celtics will be looking to respond on their home court.
Entering this contest, the Celtics own the best record in the NBA (33-12), while the Warriors are starting to string wins together with some consistency, getting back to .500 at 22-22.
