Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics prediction
Tuesday's game should give us a solid NBA matchup.
The Golden State Warriors are on a four-game winning streak that has helped them to a 28-28 record. They occupy ninth place in the Western Conference, which would mean a place in the play-in tournament.
The Warriors defeated the Houston Rockets, the Denver Nuggets, the OKC Thunder and the Cleveland Cavaliers recently and have a 6-4 record in their last 10 games.
The Boston Celtics are also on a hot streak as they make a push for the Eastern Conference's Top 4. They have five consecutive victories and now sit fifth in the Eastern Conference with a 30-26 record.
The Celtics took four of those wins against teams in postseason places. They recently swept a road trip in the West by beating the Denver Nuggets, the Portland Trail Blazers and the LA Lakers.
While both teams are on fire right now, the Boston Celtics have a home-court advantage, and it could be decisive as the Golden State Warriors have been dismal on the road this year (11-18).
