Every NBA Team's Odds to Advance to NBA Championship Ahead of Conference Finals
By Peter Dewey
And then there were four.
Even though the Game 7 action in the NBA disappointed on Sunday, we still should have two wildly entertaining Conference Finals.
Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks take on Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, while Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat will take on the red-hot Boston Celtics and Jayson Tatum.
What are the odds for each of these teams to make the NBA Finals?
Here’s the latest from WynnBET Sportsbook:
Miami Heat’s Odds to Win Eastern Conference Finals
The Heat may be the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, but they aren’t favored to beat the surging Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The Heat are +165 to advance to the NBA Finals for the second time since the 2019-20 season. Miami needed just 11 games to defeat the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers, but oddsmakers think the Celtics are the better team in this series.
Boston Celtics Odds to Win Eastern Conference Finals
Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the Celtics are -200 at WynnBET to make the NBA Finals this season.
Boston knocked off the Brookly Nets and Milwaukee Bucks to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, and it has showcased an elite defensive attack along the way.
The Celtics are the hottest team in the NBA, and they have the star power to win this series with Miami.
The Boston Celtics are now 34-9 since January 29th.

Five of those nine losses are by 3 points or less.
Golden State Warriors Odds to Win Western Conference Finals
The Warriors have been a tricky team to figure out in these playoffs, as they look about as dominant as anyone when they are on, but they were also blown out by the Memphis Grizzlies in their previous series.
Still, Golden State avoided going seven games in both of its first two playoff series, and Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole are going to be hard to stop for any defense.
WynnBET currently has Golden State as -210 favorites to advance to the NBA Finals.
Dallas Mavericks Odds to Win Western Conference Finals
Luka Doncic has solidified himself as one of the game’s best players, and the Mavericks absolutely dismantled the Phoenix Suns in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Doncic may be the best player left in the postseason (sorry Steph), but oddsmakers have Dallas at +170 to make the Finals and +650 to win it all.
