Defense will be important against a team like the Warriors that is led by Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.  

Williams III averaged 2.2 blocks per game this season, so he is the team's best rim protector.   

The Warriors are coming off of beating the Dallas Mavericks in five games to win the Western Conference Finals (last Thursday evening). 

They will come into the night very well rested, because they have had nearly a week off. 

As for the Celtics, they beat the Miami Heat to win the Eastern Conference, but the series did end until Game 7 this past Sunday night in Florida.
