The wild landscape of the NBA's Eastern Conference playoffs is leading to an odds anomaly.
After their second 20-point comeback in three days, the New York Knicks lead the defending champion Boston Celtics 2-0. The Knicks now head to Madison Square Garden for Game 3 on Saturday as slight favorites to win the series after their two road victories. The Knicks are -110 at BetMGM.
However, the Knicks aren’t the East favorite. And neither are the Indiana Pacers. The Celtics still have the lowest odds of any team in the conference to head to the NBA Finals at +135 even though they’re now officially underdogs to the Knicks.
