Boston Celtics

Projected Championship Odds: 2.4%
Vegas Odds: 25/1

The Boston Celtics have made the ascent up the Eastern Conference from playoff doormat against Cleveland two years ago to legitimate title contender. In their fourth year under highly-praised coach Brad Stevens, the Celtics have reconstructed their roster from pile of assets to solid team via trades and free agency.

The additions of highly sought after free agent Al Horford and dynamic bench scorer Gerald Green give Boston's roster elements they were missing last season when they finished with 48 wins and lost in the first round of the playoffs.

The Celtics lost two of three to Cleveland last season but did give Golden State some trouble, losing in double overtime at home and knocking off the Dubs in Oakland.
