Fresh off Jayson Tatum’s historic 51-point performance in Game 7 on Sunday, the Boston Celtics are the favorites to win the NBA Championship, per bookmaker.eu

The Celtics are at even odds (1/1) to win the title, followed by the Denver Nuggets at 2 1/2/1, the Lakers at 3/1 with the Miami Heat at 12/1.

The Celtics and Lakers are tied at 16 NBA titles, so both franchises are two series’ wins from earning a 17th crown.

“To win in the playoffs is extremely hard,” said Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, who scored 25 points. “It takes a lot of sacrifice, intensity, emotion and hard work. We're looking forward to winning more games and continuing this process. All I can say is, all praise to the 'Most High.' We're both extremely grateful to be here.”
