Before this match teams managed to meet exactly 40 times and chalked up 20 victories each. When making a prediction for the game between Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors, you should pay attention to the fact that the last four games out of five ended in favor of the current champion.

Boston Celtics

Despite the absence of Jaylen Brown, Boston continues to get victories. In the last seven matches the team from Massachusetts did not give any chances to the opponents. In the last match, for example, the Celtics defeated Charlotte (130:118). Jason Tatum led the Celts with 51 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Recent successes have allowed Boston to strengthen its position. Wards of Joe Mazzulla confidently occupy the first line in the East. Their advantage over the closest pursuer is four wins.

Golden State Warriors

After the return of Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins, the results of Golden State worsened. Lately, Steve Kerr’s wards fail too often. For example, in the last six games the Warriors have won only two victories. Managed to overcome “San Antonio” (144:113) and “Washington” (127:118). In the standings of the Western Conference, the team from San Francisco is on the seventh line, but at any moment the team can fly out of the playoff zone. The warriors are ahead of their rivals only due to the best additional indicators. Want more up-to-date basketball prediction and stay informed? Subscribe to Odds2Win updates.

Prediction

Our expert pick: Boston is in crazy form. It is unlikely that Golden State will be able to stop the Celtics. Too unconvincing now are the wards of Steve Kerr. We doubt the capabilities of the Warriors and believe that they will not be able to fight the leader of the Eastern Conference on the TD Garden floor. Our prediction is for "Boston" with a handicap of (-5) points for odds of 1.76. In December teams held a face-to-face meeting and then only 230 points were scored. It is likely that this time nothing will change significantly. Golden State is now in crisis, so we doubt that the meeting will turn out riding. The second prediction is the total under 240.5 points for 1.74. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.76. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
