Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors know what it's like to play in a Finals, they won three titles so far this century, 2015, 2017 and 2018. But in 2019 the Warriors were close to winning a third title in a row but lost against the Toronto Raptors in six games.

NBA Finals 2022: FiveThirtyEight and betting markets predictions
The Boston Celtics are favored 83% on FiveThirtyEight which makes them big favorites to win the 2022 NBA Finals. But a heavy favorite like the Celtics could be a trap to attract more money from Las Vegas bookies by moving the betting lines.
On the other hand, in Election Betting Odds the Warriors are favorites with 58.6% (as of today), that number is a bit more reasonable and puts the Golden State Warriors in a more favorable position for gamblers.
