NBA Finals: Best bets for Celtics-Warriors

June is the month when the NBA Finals are played. Steph Curry and the Warriors will play against Jayson Tatum and Celtics in 2022. Betting and fantasy experts from SI Sportsbook offer their best bets for the event.

NBA Finals is going to be a long one. The most likely outcome is the Warriors winning in seven games. Over 5.5 games is a step down from the bold bet. Celtics have a winning record against the Dubs since Steve Kerr took over.

Steph Curry is a great player but he has never won a Finals MVP. He is the favorite to win this year.

Celtics are the best team in basketball since the calendar turned to 2022. They shut down Kyrie, KD, Giannis and Butler on the path to the Finals. Now they face Steph Curry, who could prove more problematic than any of the other Hall of Famers. Marcus Smart will be the MVP.

Klay Thompson is a +1400 favorite to win NBA Finals MVP. He's averaging 19.8 points in the playoffs this year.

Golden State Warriors are playing Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals. Andrew Wiggins and Klay Thompson are the MVP candidates. Thompson suffered a torn ACL and a tore Achilles during the regular season. He is the club's second-leading scorer behind Steph Curry. He's also the team's leading shooter from beyond the arc. The odds are that Golden State will win the series.

The Warriors and Celtics are evenly matched. Boston can win the series if they don't make too many mistakes.
