The 2022 NBA Finals tip off Thursday night in San Francisco.
It’ll be the Boston Celtics battling the Golden State Warriors. Game 1 starts at 7 p.m. (MT) on ABC.
It’s their second Finals clash with the first coming back in 1964 (a 4-1 Celtics series win).
But it’s certainly nothing new for these two storied franchises. After all, they’ve combined for 34 Finals appearances and 23 championships.
That’s exactly 34 more appearances and 23 more titles than the Denver Nuggets have accumulated since joining the NBA in 1976.
Regardless, Colorado NBA betting is going strong.
In each month so far this year, pro basketball wagering has topped the list in the Centennial State. It’s garnered at least $146 million in bets in each month through April.
And with May having featured a full slate of Western and Eastern Conference postseason action, bank on the NBA ruling that month’s sports betting roost as well.
Stephen Curry and the Warriors are the favorites to capture their fourth title in the last eight years. They’re currently priced as series favorites at DraftKings Colorado Sportsbook.
Still, don’t count out Jayson Tatum and the Celtics by any means.
Boston is a remarkable 17-4 (.810) all-time in NBA Finals series. And the Celtics have won seven of the 10 head-to-head meetings with the Warriors since 2017.
Not a bad resume for a series underdog, according to BetRivers Colorado Sportsbook.
Colorado online sportsbooks have a variety of NBA Finals promotional offers available. Here’s a look at the promos found at two of PlayColorado’s top-three-rated sportsbooks:
