Bovada Las Vegas Online Sportsbook Review ponders several series spots to bet in this finale of finales. Dallas keeps showing their resiliency while Boston keeps on winning in almost an underwhelming way.
| NBA Finals Mavericks vs Celtics |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boston Celtics (-1.5 games) | EVEN | -115 | -110 |
| Dallas Mavericks (+1.5 games) | -115 | -120 | -125 |
Mavericks vs Celtics Series Bets get fun heading into Game 1 on Thursday night. Yes, most anyone did not expect the Dallas Mavericks to be in the NBA Finals. Everyone knows now that Dallas cannot be taken lightly. Their ability to play timely defense and play the big points in games has to be noted.
Why do we say that? Bluntly, Boston can fall prey to getting sucked into much closer games. That figures to happen at least a few times this series. Now how the Celtics respond to such situations will tell a lot about how this series may go. Some believe this series could be a long one and go six or seven games. The spread out schedule favors a longer series.
Alas, the best part about Vegas Odda and the NBA Finals is not just to concentrate on the series line. Can Boston slow down Dallas enough to win in five or six games. Or could the Mavericks potentially push this finale to the distance (seven games)? The difference in spread between five and six games is huge right now. Watch for shifts as the NBA Finals take shape.
Now, Boston in six games rumbles in at EVEN. That is not too bad of a number. However, Boston in five is now +190. This is nowhere near good enough to try and hedge, Instead, we safely side with the scenario of the Celtics to win in six contests.
As promised, we carry some Mavericks vs Celtics bets and those series specials. Spreads offer the tip of the iceberg. Player specials offer the potential for even more wagering power. If someone believes Jayson Tatum will average double digit rebounds per game in the Finals, that number is now EVEN. There are three categories for specials – averages, any game, and every game. Please note the differences.
Naturally, averages are pretty simple. A player just has to get to the metric set per contest. Say that Kyrie Irving needs to average 25+ points per game. Simply, the series can go 4, 5, 6, or 7 games. The points per contest are all that matters. Any game merely means the outcome has to happen once. Every game dictates an even which must occur every single time.
It still feels funny to look at some of these specials with a straight face. Jayson Tatum to score 45+ points in any game or Doncic to go 50+ is not as far-fetched as they would appear. Furthermore, the odds are +600 and +500 respectively. Anyone to score 50+ is at +400 but the chances would be either Tatum or Doncic. After all, Doncic has done it already.
As far as wagers, the Vegas Betting pick here is to go safe with Tatum averaging 10+ rebounds per game. It offers Even odds and again should not move too much. Boston should wear down Dallas as this series will go on. Do not be surprised to see Tatum get a few crooked rebound numbers.
Mavericks vs Celtics bets some more props. NBA Prop Bets seek to have a little leeway here. Most remain convinced Luka Doncic will lead the NBA Finals in scoring. However, what if Jayson Tatum took that title instead? The numbers figure to shock most everyone. While Doncic is now -215 to lead all players in series points, Tatum tips the scales at +300.
Despite that, there is even more. There are matchups for who averages more points per game. Would one take Doncic over Tatum or vice versa? Tatum, at this point, rises to +200. This is why we opt for the +300 number above. Shopping for value involves using a little common sense. Bettors will see this a lot along with some considerable redundancy in the numbers.
Alright, the points made continue here. Let us lean into some helpers. Taking Tatum or even Derrick White (over 4.5 assists) is not a bad option. considering he had five games of 6+ helpers. The -115 number drops to EVEN if one wants to hop to the Over at 5.5 assists.
So, is there a free throw prop in the Mavericks vs Celtics Series Bets? Sadly, that answer is no. However, if there was we would side with both teams, particularly Boston. The Celtics allow few foul shots and Dallas misses their fair share. It is something to keep an eye on. In the meantime, we do like Tatum to lead the points race.
Oh, the NBA Finals schedule is below in all its glory. Game 1 starts onThursday, June 6th. All the games are in prime time with 8:00 or 8:30 pm ET starts. This is what it looks like.
Good luck betting! Almost every game features two nights off instead of one. Only Games 3 and 4 are spaced apart by one evening. Both teams expect to be a bit more rested even if they are beat up more.
