Best bets for Pacers-Celtics Eastern Conference Finals Game 2
Where the public is betting and aggregated best bets from handicappers
Well, I’ve had better Wednesday nights. The Dallas Mavericks (+4.5), behind an exceptional game from both Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic, rallied late for a 108-105 win over my Minnesota Timberwolves to take a 1-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals. They are now -165 favorites to win the series, with Minnesota at +140 at DraftKings.
The good news is that it’s been 20 years since I’ve had to stress about the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals. The bad news is that it’s more stress this time around because I think the Wolves are the better team; I didn’t have high hopes for the 2003-04 Wolves beating that Los Angeles Lakers team.
But alas, you’re not subscribed to this Substack to hear my thoughts on my team blowing a late fourth-quarter lead. Let’s turn our attention back to the Eastern Conference, where the Boston Celtics (-9) look to go up 2-0 on the Indiana Pacers.
Can the Pacers summon the same energy that had them on the doorstep of a win on Tuesday night?
Here is public betting info for Pacers-Celtics from multiple sportsbooks, along with aggregated best bets from several respected handicappers. I’ll add to this file throughout the day.
