The NBA’s conference finals got underway on Sunday afternoon, as the Boston Celtics delivered a 108-83 thumping of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the series opener. The Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets start their series on Monday night, but as you can see below, the Warriors are heavily favored to roll to their third NBA title in four years. LeBron James is looking to extend his streak of appearing in the NBA Finals to eight in a row — but Marcus Morris and the rest of the Boston defenders are looking to stop that run. James Harden and Chris Paul are hungry for an NBA Finals appearance — but will they be able to get past Golden State to get there, especially now that Stephen Curry has returned? Check out our NBA Championship betting insights on the four remaining teams in the NBA playoffs.
