For the first time this season, the NBA has an odds-on championship favorite the Boston Celtics. In the Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown era, Boston have made seven consecutive postseason appearances with the previous six including one trip to the NBA Finals and four to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Since dropping Game 2 in the first round series against Miami, Boston have won four straight blowouts and Joe Mazzulla's well-oiled unit are undoubtedly the most feared side in the playoffs. Boston have now recorded the most 25-point wins in a single season in NBA history (regular season & playoffs) with 19.
Tatum is seeing the floor better than he ever has in his career, reading defenses and playing out of double and triple terms with perfection. Derrick White is having one of the hottest postseasons in Celtics history to date.
