Celtics Now Heavy Favorites to Close Out Finals Series

If you have watched the first two games, there must be a part of your brain thinking that a sweep is a real possibility. The Celtics dominated both games. Even though the scoreboard for game two looked closer than the game actually was. The Celtics led the Mavericks from stem to stern. As we reported at the start of the series, Boston has had Dallas’s number all year long. This last game makes Boston 4-0 against the Mavs this season and none of them were close.

Looking at the current series odds as posted by Sportsbetting.ag we see that Boston is currently -825 to win the series. Dallas is +625 to win.

There have been only 5 instances where a team was down 0-2 in the Finals and were able to come back and secure the win. Milwaukee pulled off this rare feat just three years ago when they came from behind to defeat the Phoenix Suns. Giannis Antetokounmpo averaged 37.5 points and 12.5 rebounds in the Bucks four wins in that series.

Don’t forget about 2016 when LeBron and his Cavaliers came back from being down 0-2 and 1-3 in their series against Golden State. Kyrie Irving, who is currently starring for the Mavs, hit a 3 pointer to ice that series at the very end of game 7.
