Washington Wizards @ Boston Celtics (May 16, 8:00 GMT+8)
The Celtics-Wizards series was the most exciting live betting event out of the four played in the second round. Not only was there thrilling basketball showcased by the two teams, their fierce rivalry stems back to the regular season. Their intense dislike for each other adds to the story and the betting odds.
Now that these two teams are headed to a one-of-a-kind finale in Boston, expect a terrific sports betting experience tomorrow. Everyone – from the stars to the players at the end of the bench – will leave everything on the floor for the chance to fight LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Obviously, the stars draw the eyes of the basketball experts and the punters. Wizards and Celtics fans hope that their respective stars (John Wall and Isaiah Thomas) won’t go through a meltdown like Houston’s James Harden and fade off from the map. Given the way that the two have been playing, it’s impossible to see them choke like The Beard.
The game will probably go down to the role players and the tactics employed by the head coaches. This game will be as much of a battle for Brad Stevens and Scott Brooks as it is for their players. Al Horford and Marcin Gortat’s performance down low also matters as much as the star players’.
Recent behaviours of Kelly Olynyk and Kelly Oubre will definitely put the whistle on the referees’ mouths. This game will surely be physical, and we can only hope that no one will be injured in the process.
I believe that Brad Stevens is the X-factor that will eventually get Boston through, so punters should consider betting for the Celtics: -5.00 @ 1.92 are good numbers for the C’s.
Both teams know that they will either win to face a much tougher test or end their season right then and there. Basketball fans and betting regulars will surely be buzzing about this game by the time they line up for the tip-off.
