The Boston Celtics began the year at +1,600, and this past Friday, Feb. 26, they hit their low point of +3,000. Only seven other teams in the league have better odds to win the championship. The Milwaukee Bucks are the only team leading the Celtics, with 5/9 odds to top the East. What’s more, the C’s have the fifth-best odds (15/1) at winning the 2020 NBA championship, per Smith.

BOSTON (CBS) — The way the Celtics are being talked about this offseason, you’d think that both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown retired after Boston was eliminated from the playoffs. Both rising stars are still on the team though, which means Boston’s title odds remain pretty good.

The odds are by no means great, as the Celtics still sit behind the NBA’s Super Teams. But the Celtics are atop the NBA’s second tier of title contenders according to a trio of betting sites, which is right where they belong.

The loss of Gordon Hayward this offseason certainly led to Boston’s title odds taking a bit of a hit. But the oddsmakers must really like Tatum and Brown to continue their ascension, Boston’s addition of veterans Tristan Thompson and Jeff Teague, and maybe they don’t feel as bad about Kemba Walker’s balky knee.

And even the other teams in the East that did make moves this offseason are still behind the C’s.

As you can see, there’s a pretty big drop off from the Clippers to the Celtics. But Boston is firmly entrenched atop that second tier of favorites.

The Celtics have the fifth-best odds to win it all at two other betting sites as well. FanDuel also has the Celtics at +1600, while OddsShark has them at +1500 to win a title.

While the Bucks and the Nets are ahead of Boston in the odds, the Celtics remain ahead of the team that sent them home last postseason — the Miami Heat. The Philadelphia 76ers are still behind the C’s too, even after hiring Doc Rivers to lead Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid.

It’s a perfect spot for the Celtics, who under Brad Stevens have overachieved when written off or taken lightly. But even with another impressive run last season, they’re going to have to prove that they’re in the same league as the Bucks and Nets throughout the year. Milwaukee still has Giannis to dominate, and the Nets are getting Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant back. On paper, they’re both significantly better than Boston. But games aren’t played on paper, so we shall see.

The Celtics will start their season with tilts against both of those teams, opening on Dec. 23 against the Bucks before facing off against the Nets on Christmas Day.

What are the odds for each team to win the NBA Championship?

Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports

There are favorites, long shots, and dark horses as the NBA starts its run to the championship Monday. BetMGM offers up odds on each team to win the NBA title.

Orlando Magic, Brooklyn Nets

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

The longest shots on the board despite all the games being played in the Orlando bubble. The Magic would be an all-time stunner, as would the Brooklyn Nets: Odds: 250-1

Indiana Pacers, Oklahoma City Thunder

A pair of teams that are formidable foes but don’t figure to have what it takes to make the deep run it takes to hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy. The Pacers and Thunder won’t be eliminated without a tussle, but in the end the oddsmakers see them as teams that will, um, be bounced. Odds: 80-1

Utah Jazz

Ronald Martinez/Getty Images

Donovan Mitchell is one of the top players in the NBA, but he’ll need plenty of help from Jazz teammates to put a scare into foes. This piece of news popped up Sunday on Utah: Mike Conley left the bubble to go home for the birth of his son, the Jazz announced. Odds: 65-1

Philadelphia 76ers, Dallas Mavericks

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports

Cavs Odds To Win Championship

The 76ers lost Ben Simmons (knee) and always seem to find a way to get off the course to victory. They draw a tough Boston Celtics team in the first round and winning that best-of-seven will be difficult enough, let alone going all the way. Dallas, meanwhile in the West, has two starts in Luke Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. The Mavericks’ time may not be now but it will come, sooner than people think. Odds: 50-1

Portland Trail Blazers

Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports

These odds feel way short, especially for a team that barely beat Memphis to advance into the tournament. The Portland Trail Blazers have Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, and others but they face the Lakers in the first round. Don’t be shocked if their stay is short. Odds: 25-1

Miami Heat

Jimmy Butler & Co. are playing in their home state, just not South Beach. The Miami Heat put together a strong team and it has shown in the record over the elongated season. A team to watch. Odds: 22-1

Boston Celtics

Andy Lyons/Getty Images

It feels like there is hardly a season where the Boston Celtics aren’t some kind of playoff threat. Boston won 48 games in the regular season and draws banged-up Philly in the first round. Perfect opportunity to build momentum for a long and strong playoff run. Odds: 14-1

Houston Rockets

Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports

The backcourt of Russell Westbrook and James Harden is terrifying. However, it will take more than that duo for the Houston Rockets to do what it takes for a team to win the NBA Championship. Odds: 11-1

Toronto Raptors

The reigning NBA champs lost Kawhi Leonard and still won 53 games. The Toronto Raptors are menacing despite the loss of Leonard. They know what it takes to get the job done and these are sweet odds on a team looking to make it back-to-back. Odds: 9-1

Los Angeles Clippers

Harry How/Getty Images

Kawhi Leonard looks to make it consecutive titles. This time, he is in the West and with the Los Angeles Clippers. There is much anticipation for a duel of the teams from the City of Angels in the Western Conference Finals. If it happens, would it soften the survivor up for the championship round? Odds: 3.2-1

Los Angeles Lakers

Boston Celtics Odds To Win Championship

Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports

The other half of the Los Angeles force in the playoffs. LeBron James, Anthony Davis & Co. are given a slightly better chance to win it all than the team they share Staples Center with. Will LeBron add a Western Conference championship and title to his resume? Odds: 2.9-1

Milwaukee Bucks

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

Celtics Odds To Win Championship

The chalk is the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t thrilled about the 3-5 mark in the eight games in the Bubble. The Bucks will have to play better to make the oddsmakers look smart in tabbing them as the favorite. Odds: 2.7-1
