Betting on the Boston Celtics
The Celtics have been simply fantastic this season, coming into this game at the top of the Eastern Conference and as the owners of the best record in the entire league after recording a third straight win with a 125-98 thrashing of the Phoenix Suns by a score of 125-98 .
In that win, the Celtics enjoyed another strong performance from their dynamic duo, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who scored 25 points apiece. That’s a performance they’ve been accustomed to this campaign, with Tatum averaging 30.5 points scored per game and Brown about 26.7 points.
That has been precisely the main reason why the Celtics are also the best team in the NBA offensively with an average of 120.8 points scored per game, while on defense they boast of a decent average of 112.0 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Golden State Warriors
Things have been very different so far this campaign for the reigning NBA champions, as the Warriors have been nowhere near the great performance they had last year, dropping their record to .500 after 23 games played.
The Warriors’ two-faced approach this season is the reason for their problems, as while they have an excellent 11-2 record at home, they have not been able to perform at the same level on the road, where they have lost 11 out of 13 games, including a painful 123-124 loss to the Utah Jazz last Wednesday as they didn’t know how to manage a 4-point lead with 13.3 seconds to go.
The Warriors have also been solid on offense, boasting the fourth-best points-per-game average at 117.4 points, and were able to have a good day on offense in their previous game even without Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite their inconsistency, the Warriors are a team to be feared when they are at home, so they will be a tough challenge here for the best team in the league, however, that depends on whether Curry manages to recover from his physical discomfort in time.
Even so, it will not be an easy game for the home team, given that they will be facing a Celtics team that has the best offense in the league and that counts with its main players, and that has also performed well on defense and will surely come here with a desire for revenge.
Even if Curry returns, the Warriors will suffer in the absence of Wiggins, who is a key player on offense and defense, something we expect the Celtics, who have had no problems even playing away from home, to take advantage of and we expect them to win here.
Prediction: Boston Celtics Moneyline.
