The Boston Celtics will have a chance to finally reach the NBA throne after more than a decade. It’s the same for the Dallas Mavericks, who have been waiting for this since Dirk Nowitzki ruled the league. Here, we have the odds for the NBA Finals series.
Before Betting on Boston Celtics vs. Dallas Mavericks NBA Finals Series
Many say that the Cs had a lot of luck getting to the Finals, with all the key players in their rival teams suffering injuries during the playoffs. Well, that might be right, but in our opinion, Joe Mazzulla’s crew would beat all the opponents anyway. Plus, we need to remember their jinxes from the past seasons.
Tatum and Brown have an equal impact on the results, and it’s not like in some previous cases where Tatum had more influence, particularly on the offensive side. He now averages 26 points, one more than Brown, who does have significantly lower stats in assists and rebounds but is unreal on the defensive side of the ball. However, the absolute X-factor for the Cs has been Derrick White, who scores 17.8 points and has 4.1 boards, 4.6 assists, and 1.3 blocks.
Meanwhile, Luka is near a triple-double throughout the playoffs -28.8 points, 9.6 boards and 8.8 dimes. And in the moments when he doesn’t have the stamina to keep on going, there’s Kyrie, who may not be as efficient as Luka but is equally important for the team. It’s not only about his 22.8 points but his playmaking skills.
Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II are the revelations in the playoffs, with them combining 17.8 points and more than 13 boards, plus three blocks. After a while, the Mavs are dangerous in the paint on both ends, and in our opinion, that’s been the reason why they reached the finals. Overall, the team from Texas shot 54% for two points, mostly because of their productivity in the paint.

The Cs know Kyrie’s weak spots, and there’s no way Joe Mazzulla isn’t going to exploit that. Overall, they are much more defensively gifted than the Mavs, and we pick them to win in six matches, thus, to take the title.
