NBA Finals: Game 1 (ABC, 9:00 p.m.) – For the second-straight year, it’s the Warriors vs. the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. Cleveland’s got a score to settle after losing to Golden State last year, so expect LeBron James to bring his “A” Game as he tries to clinch the team’s first championship title. Good luck to him. Personally, I wouldn’t want to face any team led by Stephen Curry.

Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night (ABC, 8:00 p.m.) – The NBA Finals are upon us which means it’s also time for another round of Jimmy Kimmel’s annual game night. Expect some comedy bits and sketches featuring guests like Matthew McConaughey, Oprah Winfrey, Seth Rogen, the new Ghostbusters cast, and Ellen DeGeneres.

Archer (FX, 10:00 p.m.) – Season seven ends with someone being murdered on a movie set.

Bones (Fox, 8:00 p.m.) – A film crew follows the unit as they investigate a case involving a body buried in a landfill for over a decade.

Strong (NBC, 8:00 p.m.) – Season one ends as the two remaining groups are pushed to their limits thanks to a few tough stages in the finals. Later, one team is named the winner.

American Grit (Fox, 9:00 p.m.) – A bloody capture the flag game ends with one competitor being safe from The Circus and getting a visit from a family member.

Beauty and the Beast (CW, 9:00 p.m.) – Season four kicks off with Vincent and Cat’s honeymoon interrupted by news that someone is trying to out the identity of beasts in the city.

Game of Silence (NBC, 9:00 p.m.) – Part one of this combined episode sees Gil discovering illicit photos of himself at the warden’s before new evidence threatens to send him back behind bars. Later, Jackson makes a deal with Winters and the trio uncover new evidence that could put the warden away for good.

Roots (A&E, History, Lifetime, 9:00 p.m.) – In the finale of this four-part series, Chicken George earns his freedom after spending 20 years overseas and returns home to find his family has been sold to a plantation in North Carolina. Later, he reunites with his wife and children and tries to lead them to freedom.

Inside Amy Schumer (Comedy Central, 10:00 p.m.) – Follow along as Amy makes a sitcom appearance, stars in her very own commercial (not the Bud Light one, obviously), and endures a traumatic birth.

Lip Sync Battle (Spike, 10:00 p.m.) – In this corner, it’s Aisha Tyler spittin’ some game with Kurtis Blow’s “Basketball.” In the other, it’s Shaquille O’Neal channeling some serious Flashdance moves.

Orphan Black (BBC, 10:00 p.m.) – Alison and Donnie receive threats from some Neolutionists as Cosima works with Susan Duncan to find the cure, and Sarah is haunted by her past.

Quincy Jones: Burning the Light (HBO, 10:00 p.m.) – Quincy Jones saw his story go viral after appearing not once, but twice on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. The comedian battling a terminal form of cancer was gifted his own HBO stand-up special courtesy of DeGeneres herself, which premieres tonight. Expect plenty of laughs, maybe a few tears and to come away from the episode feeling inspired (and wanting to give cancer the big middle finger).
