What The Book Wants

The Boston Celtics' path to a championship has been relatively easy so far. Boston swept Indiana 4-0 in the Eastern Conference finals, after taking down Miami and Cleveland by 4-1 margins in Rounds 1 and 2, respectively.

The Celtics have been plenty popular with bettors, but BetMGM would be fine with a Celtics crown.

"The Celtics winning the title would be our preferred outcome, followed by the Mavericks. The Mavericks would also be a great result for us," Egeland said.

No. 5 seed Dallas went six games in the first and second rounds, then took care of Minnesota 4-1 in the Western Conference finals. In Round 1, the Mavs beat the No. 4 seed Los Angeles Clippers. In Round 2, Dallas took out top-seeded Oklahoma City.

At this stage, NBA Finals futures odds merge with NBA Finals series odds. BetMGM has it at Boston -225/Dallas +180.
