NBA playoffs 2022 - What to watch in Milwaukee Bucks-Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks-Phoenix Suns Game 7s

Which NBA contenders will join the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors in the conference finals?

Sunday's Game 7s feature two series that could not be more different.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC) have each bruised their way into their finale, each winning classics on the opponent's floor behind superstar performances from Jayson Tatum and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns (8 p.m. ET, TNT) are tied heading into Game 7, but only two matchups have been decided by single digits with three others decided by at least 20 points.

Regardless of how each team got here, these Game 7s will help shape the legacies of players such as Tatum, Antetokounmpo, Chris Paul, Devin Booker and Luka Doncic. Which superstars will rise to the occasion and propel their teams one step closer to the NBA Finals?

Here's what to watch ahead of each showdown.

On the final day of the regular season, the Milwaukee Bucks had a chance to secure the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference with a victory. Instead, the Bucks decided to rest their starters and lost the game, paving the way for the Boston Celtics, who played their regular rotation, to move ahead of them in the standings.

That decision is why the deciding Game 7 will be played in Boston on Sunday afternoon.

«Good old Game 7. Beautiful,» Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo said after Game 6. «You don't know if you're ever going to be a part of a Game 7… so never take it for granted.»

Each team has had no issues winning in each other's buildings during this back-and-forth series. The road team has won four of the six games so far, including three straight. Milwaukee has experience winning a Game 7 on the road during the second round,
