The NBA Finals odds were impacted by the Nuggets ' lost on Sunday night.
BetMGM does n't have to worry about the Denver Nuggets anymore.
At BetMGM, there were more stakes and more money bet on the Nuggets winning the NBA Finals than any other team. The Nuggets were the biggest responsibility BetMGM had in that business, but that ended Sunday evening when the Minnesota Timberwolves stormed up and won Game 7 to move on to the Western Conference finals and remove the Nuggets.
The Boston Celtics are even affected significantly by the loss of the Nuggets.
The Celtics have won the championship without a doubt for several weeks, but they did so with the defending champions out of the frame. The odds indicate that the Celtics ' journey to a title is extremely evident, especially with the Nuggets out.
Celtics are classics to gain name
The Celtics went from + 125 ( bet$ 100 to win$ 125 ) to win the title before the second round to -150 ( bet$ 150 to win$ 100 ) to win it all as the conference finals start.
It's rare to see any team with minus odds to win the championship before the meeting championships start, but there's also no clear frontrunner to the Celtics at this point.
The odds for the Celtics to hit the Indiana Pacers in the East look more like a earliest- circular line between a No. 1 and No. 8 plant. The Celtics are -900 to hit the Pacers. That gives the Celtics implied odds of 90 % to hit the Pacers, which is unusual for a meeting finals game. But the Celtics won the East by 14 sports, and were 17 game better than the Pacers during the regular time. The East was unexpectedly poor this year, which is one of the reasons the Celtics have outperformed the other teams in the NBA finals odds.
The Celtics ' failure to win a tournament would be a significant surprise at this point.
Who can push off Boston?
The Nuggets were n't the best plant in the West, but they were the favorites to earn it before each of the first two rounds of the playoffs.
The West is much deeper and better, and Boston had to love watching the best team cannibalize each other. The Oklahoma City Thunder, the best seed in the West, were eliminated by the Dallas Mavericks. The No. 2 seeded Nugget are up to.
The Maverick are + 500, while the Timberwolves are + 260 to get the NBA Finals. Minnesota has been a revelation in the playoffs and the Mavericks have been very great since the business date. Both groups have great stars, but neither would make the NBA Finals. The Celtics have just been that strong.
In the final days of the NBA playoffs, we might shock ourselves. But with the Nuggets out, there's no reason Boston should n't win it all.
