Indiana Pacers vs Boston Celtics series odds
The Pacers gave the Celtics everything they had in Game 1, but it wasn't enough, as Boston squeaked by 133-128 in overtime. That was perhaps an omen as the Pacers dropped the next three games and were swept from the postseason. However, they kept things competitive for the most part, losing three of the four games by five points or less. Still, the Celtics are back in the NBA Finals for the second time in three seasons and await the winner between the Timberwolves and Mavericks.
Celtics win 4-0.
Western Conference Final odds
Timberwolves vs. Mavericks wasn't on many bettors' NBA bingo cards, and while it had the makings of a thrilling series, Dallas has surged to a 3-0 series lead. The games, particularly the first two, have been pretty close but Luka Doncic & Co. have ultimately found ways to get the W. While it will take a miracle for Anthony Edwards & Co. to pull off a comeback, they have to take it one game at a time. It started with a Game 4 win. Three more to go.
