Celtics -14.5 Probability
The sportsbooks imply that our pick has a 52.4% prospect of winning. In the opinion of our cappers, there’s actually a probability of success closer to 60%. The wager can be recommended for this precise reason.
Following a stellar regular season, the Celtics are widely considered the frontrunners to advance to the NBA Finals from the Eastern Conference. Their primary competitors-Milwaukee, New York, and Philadelphia-are either grappling with injuries or are in the process of reintegrating a star player after a prolonged absence.
Despite Miami’s tenacity, the odds appear stacked against them, especially with key players like Jimmy Butler expected to be sidelined. Boston’s dominance over Miami in the regular season further cements their status as the team to beat in this playoff showdown.
