The Boston Celtics beat the Golden State Warriors in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Now, they are heavy favorites to win the championship.

According to the latest NBA Finals odds from FanDuel, the Celtics are now at -175 to win the series. Meanwhile, the Warriors are at +175. Of course this isn't a surprise considering that the Dubs entered as the slight favorites to win Game 1 only to fail.

The change in odds speaks volumes on the strong message that the Celtics sent in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Since Steve Kerr took over, the Warriors have always struggled against Boston. That could be the case throughout considering what happened on Thursday.

Sure enough, it's just one game and there is no reason to panic just yet for the Warriors. They are a championship team with tons of experience in the NBA Finals, and that should help them as they try to bounce back in Game 2 on Saturday.

Al Horford has been a revelation for Boston, but if they want to keep winning, Jayson Tatum needs to do a better job scoring.

The Dubs sharpshooter was phenomenal at the start of the NBA Finals, but it's quite clear he cannot do it alone.
