Wish this market had more traders.
Wolves beat the Lakers as ~38% underdogs and took the lead in this market
then Pacers (~20%) went up 2-0, then Knicks (~15%), then Nuggets (~15%) up 2-1, Pacers complete the upset so now it's up to whether the Celtics can pull off the 3-1 comeback without Tatum or else it likely resolves to the Knicks
@strakeIscool so 80% chance of Wolves beating the Lakers as a +165 underdog x 90% chance none East top 3 seeds get upset x 60% chance OKC makes finals x 65% chance Cavs and Celtics meet in ECF.
Ok 30% is pretty fair
