The Celtics have comfortable control of the series as the 2024 NBA Finals move to Dallas. Despite their run through the Western Conference, the Mavericks are only 5-3 at home in the playoffs. Can they get on track at American Airlines Center, or will Boston continue to dominate?
DraftKings Sportsbook bettors who expect Boston’s run to continue can simply take the Celtics as moneyline underdogs at +105. The Mavericks are only two-point favorites and playing as -125 moneyline favorites.
Looking at the player props available on DraftKings Sportsbook, Luka Doncic continues to have the highest points line (32.5) following a pair of performances in which he scored 30-plus points. Bettors can also back Doncic in various statistical head-to-head matchups with other players, or they can pick him to lead all players in points in Game 3 under the Game Leaders market at -180.
But while Doncic continues to put up points, he does not have the shortest odds to be named NBA Finals MVP. He sits at +600 while Jaylen Brown is +175, narrowly behind Jayson Tatum at +125.
With a series sweep still in play, bettors can also make a play at the Celtics wrapping this up in four games. In the Exact Outcome market, the Celtics are currently +240 to finish this series off by the end of the week. For those who think this series will end in five, there are two options in this market: Celtics win in five and Mavs win Game 3 at +380 or Celtics win in five and Mavs win Game 4 at +425.
