NBA playoffs betting: Despite Game 1 losses, Thunder, Celtics and Cavaliers are still heavy favorites to advance

The second round of the NBA playoffs has gotten off to a fascinating start.

The three teams favored to win the NBA Finals each lost the first game of their series at home. Sunday, the Indiana Pacers took down the Cleveland Cavaliers. Monday, the New York Knicks completed an incredible comeback to beat the Boston Celtics in overtime and the Denver Nuggets got a game-winning 3-pointer from Aaron Gordon to stun the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Are the three favorites in trouble? Not yet, at least according to the odds at BetMGM.
