Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors Prediction
The Boston Celtics are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’ve been dominant dating back to last season, and they’re at home. However, the Golden State Warriors have played great ball through 7 games and have Curry back. The Warriors are also 6-1 ATS on the season. The Warriors have won 6 of the last 9 games against the Celtics. I’ll take a stab with the points, as the Warriors are quietly playing good ball and usually get up for games like this.
