Indiana Pacers vs Boston Celtics series odds

The Pacers gave the Celtics everything they had in Game 1, but it wasn't enough as Boston squeaked by 133-128 in overtime. The Celtics have had one scare in each of their first two series, and it remains to be seen whether they'll take the Pacers more seriously on Thursday or if Indiana can continue to rack up points with its mile-a-minute, high-tempo offense. 

• Indiana Pacers to win: +1,040
• Pacers to win 4-1: +6,500
• Pacers to win 4-2: +2,000

Western Conference Final odds

Timberwolves vs. Mavericks wasn't on many bettors' NBA bingo cards, but it should be a thrilling series all the same. The battle-tested Wolves have the NBA's premier defense as well as an emerging superstar in Anthony Edwards. The 22-year-old shooting guard has already scored 40 points or more three times this postseason and is earning comparisons to another high-flying, pathologically competitive shooting guard: Michael Jordan.

The Mavs have plenty of star power themselves thanks to the dynamic duo of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. The pair have kept defenses on their toes throughout the playoffs and are hellbent on guiding Dallas back to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011.
