The Celtics finished the regular season with the best record in the league at 64-18 and raced through the playoffs before defeating the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals.

Going into the upcoming season, the Celtics are favored to do it again at the BetMGM sportsbook with by far the best odds at +325.

The Golden State Warriors, in 2017 and 2018, were the last NBA team to win back-to-back titles.
