BOS 1st Half -8.0 (-110)
The Celtics led by 18 at halftime in Game 1, and they did not even play that well. Boston shot just 6-of-18 from beyond the arc in the first half on Sunday, Philadelphia took four more free throws in the half as well as three more shots, and the rebounding margin was even.

Victor Wembanyama o28.5 Points Scored (-105)
Focus on Victor Wembanyama's last few weeks. The Frenchman scored at least 34 points in four of his final five regular-season games. He has been locked in for a bit. And as Sunday night made clear, the Portland Trail Blazers do not have a defender to slow down Wembanyama. Donovan Clingan may be a massive human being, but he is simply not quick or agile enough to defend Wembanyama outside the paint.
