The top teams from the Eastern and Western conferences face one another for the first time this season Wednesday night in the desert.
It's Celtics-Suns at Footprint Center and Boston, which owns the best record in the NBA, is the favorite in this marquee matchup. The C's are 2–0 so far on their six-game road trip, while Phoenix returns to its home floor—where it is 12-2 on the year—after it dropped a game in Dallas on Monday.
Boston and Phoenix have split their two-game season series for the last four years, and this game between the last two Finals runner-ups could end up being an early-season championship preview.
