We are down to just four teams in the NBA playoffs, and two of them are completely unfamiliar faces that nobody expected to make it this far in the Indiana Pacers and Minnesota Timberwolves.
The latest betting odds to win the title aren’t too surprising, as one juggernaut continues to remain untested and is looking more and more likely to bring home another championship.
NBC Sports shared the updated odds for the title and has the Boston Celtics at a hefty -150, followed by the Timberwolves at +275, the Dallas Mavericks at +500, and the Pacers at a distant +2500.
Only FOUR teams remain in the NBA title chase.

The Celtics coasted through the Eastern Conference this year to the tune of 64 wins and so far in the playoffs have defeated the Miami Heat in five games following an injury to Jimmy Butler, and taken out the Cleveland Cavaliers in five games as well following injuries to Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen.
No one has put a scare in the Celtics yet, but the Pacers are young, fast-paced, and most importantly, healthy after taking down the New York Knicks with a historic 130-point drubbing in Madison Square Garden in Game 7.
Boston will still likely be without center Kristaps Porzingis for at least the start of the Eastern Conference Finals due to his calf strain, putting more pressure on veteran center Al Horford to hold up in his absence.
Boston is seeking its 18th NBA Championship, while the Mavericks are looking for title No. 2 and the Pacers and Wolves are both looking for their first.
