NBA championship perfect odds
The Celtics and Bucks are still tied for the lowest odds to win the Finals.
The Boston Celtics are in first place in the Eastern Conference as well as the Atlantic Division. Without head coach Ime Udoka, who helped lead them to the NBA Finals last season, Boston has improved on every level. They are on a seven game winning streak but will have a tough matchup against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night. Trae Young and the Hawks have already beaten the Bucks twice this season, and they want to give the Celtics a run for their money.
Strong night for Giannis.
