While it's not a huge edge, these projections are also based on the Celtics' statistics for the entire season, and the human factor tells me that's not the team we're watching now.
Something seems off with the Celtics, whether it's Jaylen Brown already having one foot out the door or Joe Mazzulla coaching in his first NBA playoffs.Īccording to projections, the 76ers should be 1.5-point underdogs, which means we can price them at +112 on the moneyline. I believe the 76ers will close out the series at home on Thursday, and they may even win by a large margin. The odds are based on the Celtics' power rating for the entire season, but that's not the team we're seeing in the Eastern Conference semifinals. What evidence do we have from this series that justifies the Boston Celtics being a 2.5-point favorite on the road in Game 6? In my opinion, none. Check out our complete list of NBA odds here!
