The Celtics’ over/under for regular-season wins is 52.5, and they have the fourth-best odds to win the NBA Finals at +1800, according to Bovada. The only teams Bovada projects to win more games than the C’s are the Warriors, Cavaliers, Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers, and only Golden State, Cleveland and San Antonio have better odds to win the championship. And in the latest sign that Boston is projected to be a real contender this season, ESPN’s Zach Lowe has the Celtics ranked with the Spurs and Toronto Raptors as the “Best of the Rest,” trailing only the Warriors, Cavaliers and Clippers. Lowe did offer some potential pitfalls for the Celtics, though.
