With the build up to the NBA finals in full swing, SportsHandle put its resident supercomputer to work. 

Celtics To Win In 6

The predictive analytics programme analyzed a wide range of data, including current season form, playoff performance, head-to-head records, individual player stats in the regular season and the playoffs, along with the schedule and home court advantage. 

The Supercomputer predicts the Boston Celtics to finally end their 16 year spell without a championship. 

The series is predicted to end in 6 games, with the Celtics leveraging their home court advantage.

A spokesperson for SportsHandle commented on the above:

“Our supercomputer crunched the numbers, and it’s predicting Celtics in 6. Celtics certainly have a stronger roster, and are the overall favorite according to the betting markets. 

But the true wildcard in this series is Dončić – his ability to control the game was shown in the first quarter of game five against the Timberwolves. 

However, Dallas’ record against Boston this season is not too favorable, losing both games against the Celtics. 

With Irving facing his former team, this will be a truly exciting Finals.”
