While their perceived primary competition gets battered on the court, the Boston Celtics have quietly taken care of business and looked dominant in the process.The Celtics have been the betting favorites for most of the season, but this is the first time this year their odds have moved into negative territory. Heading into the second round of the NBA playoffs, they were even money at FanDuel.
The Nuggets were second in the betting odds heading into their Western Conference semifinal matchup against the Timberwolves but have lost the first two games at home and have fallen to fifth in the odds at +1600 on FanDuel. The T-Wolves are now the second betting favorite +300 followed by the Thunder at +600. The Thunder are up 1-0 in their series against the Mavericks, who have +1800 odds.
The Celtics are -390 at FanDuel to win the Eastern Conference Finals. They are up 1-0 in their semifinal series against the Cavs and are -8000 to win that series. That’s an implied probability of 98.8%.
