"Here at BetMGM Nevada, tickets just over three to one in favor of the Warriors, money about one and a half to one on the Warriors," Everson said.  

Everson also added that the money is five to one on the Warriros on the moneyline at BetMGM Nevada.  

"Money five to one on Golden State, which is currently -165 on the moneyline," he said. "And drew a mid-five figure play among that money, among those bets."

This is the sixth time in the last eight years that the Warriors have made the Finals, while the Celtics are in the Finals for the first time since the 2010 season when they had Hall of Famers Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce on the roster.
