Boston’s back on top again. After defeating Mr. MVP Joel Embiid and the 76ers 95-86 in Game 6, the Celtics are the new kids on top of the block to win the NBA Finals at +160.
Behind the C’s are Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets at +230. Denver eliminated the Phoenix Suns 125-100 to win the series 4-2 and advance to their second Western Conference finals in four years.
LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have the third-best odds at +450. They take home court tonight for a pivotal Game 6 where they could close out Steph Curry and the defending champion Golden State Warriors. But can “The Chef” force a Game 7?
