After the defeat in Philadelphia, Utah Jazz defeated Milwaukee 123-108 at home. Their next game will be at home against Oklahoma, but Oklahoma is in great form and Utah has a tough job. Oklahoma's away record is pretty good.
Boston beat Memphis on its own field by a different score of 131-91.
In their last 8 games, Boston lost to Los Angeles teams at home.
It's like Boston is allergic to Los Angeles teams. It was surprising to me that they lost to both the Clipppers and the in-form Lakers.

It's surprising to me that Boston are still the overwhelming favourites when it comes to the NBA championship market.

On BetFair Boston is still 4.1@4.3 to win the championship which implies >20% probability that they will win the chip. I don't think that that is a fair price. The Clippers price have closed in slightly lately now at about 8.2 but still not enough, especially when the team has been on a tear and ranks first in power ranking for 2 weeks in a row now.

Milwaukee odds have blown out slightly to 8.6@8.8, that looks more fair than Boston imo.
