Heat vs. Celtics Game 7 odds: What team sportsbooks think will advance to take on the Nuggets in NBA Finals

The Nuggets punched their ticket to their first-ever NBA Finals after sweeping the Lakers. Now the question is, who will they face for the championship?

After jumping out to a commanding 3-0 lead, the No. 8-seeded Heat lost the subsequent three games to the No. 2-seeded Celtics. With the series all tied up, oddsmakers are giving Boston the edge to win Game 7 and advance to the Finals.

The Celtics are 7.5-point favorites over the Heat to win Monday night’s deciding game, according to BetMGM. To simply win the game, Boston has -300 odds — meaning a $300 bet would win $100 — to take down Miami. The Heat have +240 odds to win on the road and avoid becoming the first team in NBA history to lose a playoff series after going up 3-0.

As of now in the exact outcome odds, the Celtics have a slight edge to beat the Nuggets for the Larry O’Brien trophy with +125 odds compared to Denver’s +160 odds in the matchup. Meanwhile, Denver has +400 odds to win the title over the Heat compared to Miami’s +1,200 odds.

Game 1 of the NBA Finals takes place Thursday, either in Boston if the Celtics win or Denver if the Heat win.
