Celtics vs. Warriors NBA Championship Prop Bets: NBA Finals MVP, Exact Outcome Odds and More Ahead of Game 1

The NBA Finals are here!

Game 1 between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors will tip off at 9 p.m. EST on Thursday night, and there are several ways at WynnBET Sportsbook to get in on the action for not just Game 1, but the whole series. 

WynnBET is offering a variety of series-long props, including the exact outcome of the series, the length of the series and the winner of the NBA Finals MVP award. 

Here’s a full look at each of the props offered and the odds heading into Game 1: 

Celtics vs. Warriors NBA Finals Series Odds

• Warriors: -155
• Celtics: +127

Our own Ben Heisler pointed out that WynnBET needs the Warriors to win this title based on the action it received on Boston earlier in the season, but yours truly sees this series ending with a Celtics win. 

I’m holding a Warriors ticket at +650, but I think Boston’s defense will be the deciding factor. 

Celtics vs. Warriors NBA Finals Series Handicap

• Celtics +1.5 (-190)
• Warriors -1.5 (+155)

This is an interesting prop, as you can get plus money on the Warriors to win the series in four, five or six games, but this is expected to be a closely contested series between two of the league’s top defensive units. 

NBA Finals Total Games Prop

• Six Games: +175
• Seven Games: +190
• Five Games: +280
• Four Games: +800

Oddsmakers expect this series to be a long one, and Boston has gone to Game 7 in each of the last two rounds. The odds for a sweep may be enticing, but it is very unlikely in this matchup. 

NBA Finals Exact Outcomes Odds for Celtics vs. Warriors

• Warriors in 7: +350
• Celtics in 6: +375
• Warriors in 5: +475
• Warriors in 6: +500
• Celtics in 7: +600
• Celtics in 5: +900
• Warriors in 4: +1200
• Celtics in 4: +1500

As you can see, oddsmakers really expect this series to go at least six games. I am thinking of hedging my Warriors future by taking Boston after Game 1, assuming the Celtics lose, as I think Boston wins this series in seven games, which you can grab at +600 odds. 

2022 NBA Finals MVP Odds

• Steph Curry: +100
• Jayson Tatum: +165
• Jaylen Brown: +800
• Klay Thompson: +1200
• Draymond Green: +1500
• Marcus Smart: +2000
• Andrew Wiggins: +3000
• Jordan Poole: +3000
• Al Horford: +5000
• Derrick White: +10000
• Kevon Looney: +20000
• Grant Williams: +30000
• Robert Williams: +30000
• Damion Lee: +50000
• Daniel Theis: +50000

Earlier this week, I broke down a couple of dark horse candidates to consider, but it’s likely that Curry will win Finals MVP in a Golden State victory and Tatum in a Celtics victory.
