Boston is the unqualified favourite this season - the team has 64 wins in the regular season, and at the playoff stage the Celts suffered only 2 defeats on their way to the finals (the games with Indiana though were hard fought, but still the score in the series was 4-0).
The Dallas Mavericks were seeded only No. 5 in the playoffs, but still managed to reach the finals, beating the Western Conference winner Oklahoma, 4-2.
However, today we do not expect sensations, Boston at home for the whole season suffered only 6 defeats, and Dallas last beat the ‘Celts’ in 2022, for these 2 years the ratio of sides has become clearly in favour of Boston.
Prediction: Boston to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 1.42
