NBA Betting - Boston Celtics vs. Golden State Warriors
Boston Celtics (- 3.5) vs. Golden State Warriors (+ 3.5)
The Celtics made a nice run at the Denver Nuggets in the fourth quarter last night, but still lost straight-up, bringing their overall record to 41 and 10, and against the BetUS spread. Denver was favored by 1 point last night and the Celtics lost by 6. Luckily for the men in green they get to travel to Oakland to take on the Golden State Warriors. Nickname-Nickname hasn’t been doing so well lately. The Warriors have been atrocious against the BetUS spread going 2 and 8 in their last 10. The Celtics have done much better going 6-3-1 against the BetUS spread in their last 10 games.
Here are more trends:
The Boston Celtics are 9 and 2 against the spread in their last 11 games following a straight-up loss.
The Boston Celtics are 5 and 1 against the spread in their last 6 games versus a team from the NBA Pacific Division.
The Golden State Warriors are 5 and 1 in their last 6 games playing on no days of rest.
The Boston Celtics are 6-2-1 against the spread in their last 9 overall games.
Kevin Garnett is probable tonight. That will be a huge boost for the Boston Celtics who are still the best defensive team in the NBA. If KG does start, then that would mean that the Celtics lost only 2 games straight-up while he was out.
Even without KG, I love the Celtics against the BetUS spread tonight. Yes, they are on the road, but they get to play one of the most overrated against the spread teams in the NBA. Check this betting stat out - - the Golden State Warriors are 22 and 31 against the spread so far this season. The Boston Celtics are 31 and 18 and 2 against the spread so far this season.
There really isn’t anything else to write about this game. The Celtics are the better team, might get their leader back, and Doc Rivers will be leaning into his fellas to make a statement after losing straight-up to the Denver Nuggets last night.
The Golden State Warriors are usually lackadaisical with the rock preferring to shoot uncontrollably before setting up their offense.
Betting trends say Celtics all the way in this one.
The BetUS line is Boston Celtics – 3.5 against the spread on the road versus the Golden State Warriors.
This is my best bet of the night. The Celtics should blow Nickname-Nickname across the bridge and into San Francisco.
