The NBA Eastern Conference finals are starting tonight as the Indiana Pacers take on the Boston Celtics in Boston at 8 pm on ESPN. The Pacers are coming off of a tough seven-game series against the New York Knicks. The Pacers lead the NBA in scoring during the regular season with 123.3 points per game while Boston averaged 120.6 but game 1 is in Boston and Boston had the best home record in the league this season. Boston is the favorite to win this game by -10.5.

I’m taking the spread on this game because Boston had an NBA record of 17 wins by 25 points or more during the 2023-2024 regular season and Indiana tends to let teams score a lot of points when they are the visiting team. If you don’t want to take the spread then take the over on points. The over/under for this game is 221.5 and these teams each averaged over 120 points per game during the regular season. Boston is well rested and they will put up plenty of points in this game one.

If you like to place in-game or side bets then the over/under on Jayson Tatum’s points for this game is 29.5, I’d take the under on this one because during these playoffs he’s only averaging 24.3 points per game and it’s been streaky. Jaylen Brown’s over/under is set at 25.5 I’d also take the under here because his average is 23.1 during the playoffs.

Ranking the Top NBA Superstars Today

The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and it’s been one of the most exciting playoffs in recent years. Many of the top NBA superstars today are in the playoffs, while others are watching, following some upset losses. Either way, there’s no denying that the NBA has a ton of talent right now. So many of the games have come down to the wire, which makes for some pretty incredible, and stressful, endings. So, who are the top NBA superstars of the minute?

The Top NBA Superstars Today

Before we get into the top NBA superstars today, let’s do some NBA history and look at the top players of all time. There’s a reason they call LeBron James the GOAT. He’s the best ever, according to the raw statistics and numbers via NBA.com. James knows how to really handle the pressure and fame.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, James went into detail about his fame and how it has impacted his life, both personal and professional. “I don’t want to say it ever becomes too much, but there are times when I wish I could do normal things,” he said.Ā “I wish I could go to Target sometimes and walk into Starbucks and have my name on the cup just like regular people.” He obviously can’t do that without everyone rushing to meet the greatest basketball player of all time. NBA experts know that when you have a superstar as big as James, he never plays an away game. No matter what city he’s in, people will go to that game just to see him. I have yet to see the GOAT in action, so I hope he returns next year, so I can catch him live.

No. 2 on the list of the greatest NBA players of all time, according to the NBA’s stats, is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He played until he was 42 in an era where that was even more rare than it is today. So, how did he avoid burning out? Speaking with the Harvard Business Review, Abdul-Jabbar said, “I just thought that I had the greatest job in the world, and I wanted to keep it as long as I could. I knew it wouldn’t last forever.” He also noted that in one of his books, he quoted Jackie Robinson saying, “Athletes die twice,” because when you’re no longer playing professional sports, it’s a kind of a death. That’s deep.

Now, let’s get into the top NBA superstars today.
