Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics prediction

This line has moved heavily in the direction of the Boston Celtics, and that tells me there’s a good chance Curry will sit out due to a knee injury. Of course, the Warriors are already without Andrew Wiggins. The Boston Celtics are the hottest team in the league with 10 straight wins they’re 6-3-1 ATS during this streak, and they’re 28-3 SU at home. If the Warriors are down Curry, it’s hard to make a case for them on the road against arguably the best team in the league. Give me the points if Curry plays. Give me the Celtics if Curry is out. It’s that simple. Check the injury report before betting.
