Can the Celtics win back-to-back Finals? Here we'll track the Celtics' odds to win the NBA Championship from the top Massachusetts sportsbooks. I'll be following these odds along with other postseason betting markets and Celtics game odds throughout the year.

Latest Boston Celtics Odds: NBA Championship and More

For the table below, I used FanDuel Massachusetts to pull Celtics betting odds for several markets. It's worth noting that Boston has officially locked up a postseason spot; the Celtics' playoff odds are no longer available on any legal betting site. But you can still bet on their NBA Finals odds. 

🏆 Celtics Championship Odds:+210
👑 Celtics Eastern Conference Odds:-115
🥇 Celtics Atlantic Division Odds:Clinched
🏀 Celtics to win series vs Knicks-340
🔥 Celtics Playoff Odds:Clinched
⭐️ Jayson Tatum Finals MVP Odds:+280
⭐️ Jaylen Brown Finals MVP Odds:+2000
✅ Odds Last Updated:May 8, 2025

*NOTE: Odds vary across different Massachusetts betting apps, such as Fanatics Sportsbook, Caesars, DraftKings, BetMGM, and others. It's always a good idea to check out multiple operators before placing any bet to get the best price.

Celtics NBA Championship Odds

Currently, DraftKings Massachusetts has the best Celtics NBA Championship odds at +210. No matter which betting site you reference, Boston has the second-shortest Finals odds behind OKC.

Celtics Eastern Conference Odds

Currently, the Celtics' odds to win the Eastern Conference are -160 on DraftKings. Converted to implied probability, this gives Boston a 61.5% chance to win the conference. For reference, the next closest team is the Cleveland Cavaliers at +215.

Celtics Atlantic Division Odds

The Boston Celtics have officially clinched the Atlantic Division for the fourth consecutive season. 

Celtics Playoff Chances

The Celtics playoff odds are off the board because they have officially clinched a playoff spot. Now, the Celtics look to keep building momentum. The Celtics recently defeated the Magic 4-1 in their Best-of-7 First-Round Series. Now, they are playing the New York Knicks. 

Jayson Tatum Finals MVP Odds

Currently, BetMGM and DraftKings have the second-best odds for Tatum to win the Finals MVP award at +280. Tatum trails only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from the Thunder for the best odds to win Finals MVP.

Has Jayson Tatum Ever Won the NBA MVP Award?

No, Boston Celtics all-star Jayson Tatum has not won an MVP award yet in his career. While he has come close in recent years, he has often finished outside of the top 3 candidates. 

Jaylen Brown MVP Odds

Jaylen Brown no longer has MVP odds available as the regular season award is out of reach at this time. Most sportsbooks have significantly shortened the list of players with MVP odds over the past few weeks. DraftKings, which typically has some of the more robust options, currently only has nine players with available odds.
