Welcome to Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has enjoyed an outstanding season leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to the best record in the NBA, and they are big favourites to see off the Indiana Pacers in five or six.
The Pacers, used to being underdogs, have come through the East having beaten the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games and then the New York Knicks in six.
They have no quit in them, but will this be a step too far?
Tip-off is shortly after 9.30pm Bermuda time.
