Stats
The Boston Bruins are celebrating after beating the Washington Capitals 5-2, setting the new NHL record for most points in a single season with 133 this week at TD Garden.
According to Fox Sports, bet makers love the Celtics:
The Celtics should be the betting favorites if you’re going by the advanced stats. Boston is second in defensive efficiency and third in offense. No other team is in the top five in each category.
The main reason Boston has surged the past two years is 3-point shooting. They take 42 3-pointers per game (second behind Golden State), make 16 per game (also second) and rank sixth in 3-point percentage (37.7%).
