It’s been a rip-roaring start to the NBA regular season for Boston, which has yet to lose on its home court in 14 games at TD Garden, en route to the best record in the NBA.
Overall, Joe Mazzulla’s team is 23-6. Boston is the only team that has currently won more than eight in a row on its home court. The early-season dominance has rocketed the Celtics playoff odds to the top of the NBA.
Oddsmakers at ESPN BET Massachusetts list Boston at +350 to win the NBA Championship, ranking ahead of Milwaukee (+400), Denver (+425) and Phoenix (+800). Ahead of Boston’s Thursday night home game against 2-28 Detroit, BetMassachusetts.com took a look at the NBA’s current home court winning streaks.
Longest Current NBA Home Win Streaks
Boston has been so dominant this season Massachusetts betting apps are no longer taking odds on if the Celtics will make the playoffs. They are +4000 to miss the postseason.
Celtics in League of Their Own at Home
There might not be a better home court advantage than the one Boston currently enjoys. The Celtics have won 14 straight this season and 21 games overall. The 14 straight home wins to start this season are nearly double the next closest NBA team.
The NBA’s longest home court winning streak all time was the Warriors’ 54-game heater between 2015 and 2016, followed by the San Antonio Spurs’ 48-game run the same year. The Celtics 21-game streak is tied for 40th all time and the longest in the NBA since Houston and Philadelphia both won 20 straight during the 2018 season.
Caesars Sportsbook Massachusetts lists Jayson Tatum as Boston’s leading most valuable player candidate at +2500 odds. Joel Embiid is the current MVP favorite at +150.
