The odds are long. The smart money is on a short series.
The Celtics aren’t just the favorites in this upcoming Eastern Conference semifinal series — the experts see them coasting past the Knicks. Boston is -800 to advance, according to BetMGM.
The regular-season series was dominated by the Celtics, who won all four contests, three by double figures, and have won eight of the last nine matchups.
They cruised past the Magic in the opening round, while the Knicks were fortunate to get past the inexperienced and undermanned Pistons in six games.
