Another round, another Game 7 for Boston.
The Celtics will play in an NBA-record 35th Game 7 on Sunday after losing to the Heat in Game 6, with this Game 7 determining who will go to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Boston had a chance to clinch its Finals ticket Friday night, but lost 111-103, forcing Sunday’s game in Miami. While the Game 6 loss feels devastating for a lot of fans, the Celtics are actually 2.5-point favorites to win Game 7 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
A road team being the favorite in Game 7s is quite rare.
