Celtics Betting Options
The Boston Celtics 2022-2023 lineup consists of Marcus Smart, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, and Robert Williams. Each member of the starting 5 has been with the Boston Celtics for at least 5 years, with Horford being the only player not directly drafted by the Celtics. As a unit, the Celtics starting lineup has one of the best defensive ratings in the NBA, holding opponents to a consistently low offensive rebounding rate and registering one of the highest block rates of any team in the league. The calling card of the Boston Celtics is their versatility on defense — led by Marcus Smart and Robert Williams — and their young stardom on offense highlighted by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
Jayson Tatum has just been listed as a starter in the 2023 All-Star game with Jaylen Brown listed as an All-Star reserve. Coming off a runner-up finish in the 2022 NBA playoffs, the Celtics have carried over some of that momentum to the 2023 season, positioning themselves with one of the best records in the Eastern Conference.
As a result of their regular season success and postseason momentum, major online betting sportsbooks such as FanDuel Massachusetts and DraftKings Massachusetts have the Celtics rated as the odds-on favorite to win the 2023 NBA championship. Though this reality could change if health concerns pop up, namely an injury to a member of the starting lineup, the Celtics position as a favorite will likely remain if they stay on course.
Individuals across the Bay State who may be interested in betting on the Celtics championship futures will be able to do so shortly when Massachusetts Sports Betting launches in 2023.
Similarly, other sportsbooks such as BetMGM Massachusetts and Caesars Massachusetts are also offering NBA Championship odds for the Boston Celtics. Moreover, individuals can bet on every game the Celtics play from now until the NBA finals with each of the aforementioned sportsbooks.
While Massachusetts hasn’t formally announced when they will be launching sports betting, it is expected to come shortly after Super Bowl LVII. On launch day, each sportsbook will be open for registration with each offering their own, unique sign up bonus.
