Next Boston Celtics Owner Odds

Few professional sports franchises are as valuable as the Boston Celtics of the NBA, with the most Larry O’Brien trophies of any team in the league (18) and the most victories as well, though this year’s team falls five-and-a-half games shy in the league table.

Given that the team’s current owner is currently accepting bids for the franchise, which won its 18th title in June, it’s worth wondering which billionaire will swoop in and land the league’s most coveted asset, with Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie emerging as an early favorite.

Speaking of favorites, Boston currently sits in the No. 2 spot when it comes to NBA title odds on hometown sports betting goliath, Massachusetts DraftKings Sportsbook, with the C’s listed at +245 to win title No. 19 this year, ranking behind the Oklahoma City Thunder (+240) leaguewide.

At BetMassachusetts.com, we’re keeping an eye on candidates to buy the defending champs, or rather - everyone's favorite hoops team across Massachusetts sports betting.

Who Will Buy The Boston Celtics?

Right now, our favorite in the Celtics’ ownership race is Lurie, who has owned the Eagles since 1994, leading the club to their lone Super Bowl title in 2018 and emerging as one of the league’s top owners over the last 30-plus years.

Lurie also happens to be a Bostonian true and through, with degrees from Clark, Boston and Brandeis universities and basing his family’s company (General Cinema) operating out of Chestnut Hill.

Overall, we have Lurie (+400) ranked ahead of other Celtics suitors, such as the team’s current co-owner (Stephen Pagliuca, at +550) and gaming magnate Steve Wynn (+850), while one of the richest men in the world (Jeff Bezos) is our longest of long shots to take over the club, at +2350.

Whoever takes over as owner of the Celtics replaces the team’s current multifaceted investment group, which has run the club continuously since 2003, though the 14-man collective headed by the likes of Pagliuca has overseen one of the most successful stretches of Boston basketball, leading the club to NBA titles in 2008 and 2024 and Eastern Conference crowns in 2008, 2010, 2022 and 2024.
