Now Might Be Last Time You Can Bet Boston Celtics at Plus-Money to Win NBA Championship
By Peter Dewey
NBA bettors everywhere, this is your last chance.
If you want to bet on the Boston Celtics to win the NBA Finals this season at plus-money, there may not be another opportunity after Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Maybe I'm pushing my agenda from earlier this week, but I think the Celtics are the most well-rounded team left in the playoffs, and I was the only member of the BetSided team to take them in Game 5 in Miami.

Boston dominated the second half of Game 5 in Miami, and now WynnBET has the Celtics as nine-point favorites in Game 6 in Boston. Yeah, this series is all about wrapped up, unless you think the Heat are magically going to start playing well again on offense.
The Miami Heat are 5-35 from downtown. No team has ever shot this poorly on this many 3-point attempts in a playoff game, per @Stathead. Good lord.

Boston Has Value to Win NBA Championship For Likely the Last Time
With the Golden State Warriors up 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals, the Celtics are still second in the odds to win the title at WynnBET, sitting at +135.
Boston wouldn't have home court against the Warriors, but I can't see oddsmakers making this series much more than Warriors -120/Celtics +100 after how well Boston has played on the defensive end in these playoffs.
I would be shocked if the Celtics didn't advance to the NBA Finals, as they are undefeated after a loss this postseason and need to win just one of two games to advance.
Golden State is an extremely solid team as well, but there's no doubt this Celtics team (No. 1 in defensive rating) can win the title this season.
If you're like me and think Boston is destined to get it done, this is your last chance.
