Boston Celtics hace swept Indiana aside in the Eastern Conference finals and are just one game away to progressing to their second NBA final in three years with no team ever coming back from 3-0 in NBA history.

The Celtics impressive run has been fuelled in part by the scoring of both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown with both players wreaking havoc on the Pacers defence and with Brown dropping 40 points in Game 2, the 27-year-old edged momentarily ahead of Tatum in the series MVP betting odds.
