The Celtics don’t have homecourt advantage against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals but are still significant favorites to win the East.
Boston is at -160 at BetMGM to go to the NBA Finals after beating the Milwaukee Bucks 109-81 in Game 7 of their conference semifinal matchup on Sunday. Boston pulled away in the second half thanks to a massive disparity in three-point shooting.
The Celtics were 22-of-55 from behind the arc as Grant Williams was 7-of-18 from three. The Bucks were a hard-to-believe 4-of-33 from deep as Bobby Portis was the only Milwaukee player to make multiple threes.
