This is a 10* GOW on the Celtics.

Dallas has been on quite the roll to get to this point, defying the odds as underdog to advance to the NBA Finals.

Boston was favored and was expected to be here.

There are plenty of storylines in this series, but I just think that the Cetlics backcourt will be able to match whatever Luka and Kyrie do, while at the same time, I don't think that the Mavs have an answer for Celtics' star Jason Tatum.

And with nearly 65% of the early public money on the visitors, this one also appeals to my contrarian side.

I'm laying the points, the play is BOSTON.

Good luck, NP
