- Miami was -1000 to win the series before Game 4 and now holds -300 odds.

- Boston’s NBA Finals odds shortened from +1600 to +500.
BOSTON – Eastern Conference Finals series odds saw massive movement after the Boston Celtics Game 4 victory against the Miami Heat.
The Miami Heat earned their -1000 series odds after going up 3-0, a position that no team in NBA history has lost in. Oddsmakers greatly cut this number down after the Boston Celtics won Game 4 in Miami, with the Heat now representing -300 odds to win the series.
After losing Game 3 by 26 points, the Boston Celtics series odds fell to +650 and their season seemed to be over. Boston was the underdog for the first time this series but cashed their +105 moneyline odds and kept their playoff series odds alive.
Now, their NBA Playoffs series price at online sportsbooks have shortened down all the way to +250, with two of the remaining three games to be played in Boston.
The Miami Heat are being undervalued once again by NBA sportsbooks with their -300 odds despite being up 3-1 in the series. It’s unlikely that the best coach in the NBA in Eric Spoelstra will lose four consecutive games to a team he beat in each of their first three games.
The massive line movement comes from Celtics bettors, who make up 87% of bets places on the Eastern Conference finals series winner.
