NBA Playoffs Preview, Best Caesars Promotions

The NBA Playoffs have become unpredictable the last few years. Remember Miami rose from the Play-In Tournament all the way to the NBA Finals last year?

The West is wide open as usual, with young stars emerging in Minnesota (Anthony Edwards) and Oklahoma City (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander), but you always have to wonder if LeBron James and the Lakers have one more big run in them.

Boston dominated the East all season and finished with the best record in the NBA by far. The Knicks fought their way through the pack to get the No. 2 seed, but will have their hands full with Joel Embiid and the Sixers in the first round.

Caesars Sportsbook will have markets open on every series and every game throughout the NBA Playoffs. Entering the weekend, the Celtics were the favorite to win the NBA title at +140, followed by the Nuggets at +265. After that, there’s a big dropoff on the odds to get to the Dallas Mavericks at +1200. Caesars also already has odds on the eventual NBA Finals MVP.

Through our Caesars Sportsbook promo code LABONUS1000, new players can get $1,000 in bonuses if their first wager loses, after that, Caesars rewards avid players with special promotions every day such as:
