Warriors vs. Celtics Prediction
The Warriors are just 5-17 on the road this season thus far. Both Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole have looked phenomenal on offense lately. The team's main strength has lied in their efficiency in making threes per game.
The Celtics, meanwhile, have remained strong despite key player Jaylen Brown's recent injury woes. The Boston outfit is 17-5 at home this season which bodes well for tonight. It's a return home for the Celtics tonight after back-to-back road game victories over the Charlotte Hornets.
Considering the Warriors' knack for getting the better of the Celtics, including in the finals last season, the Boston outfit will no doubt be itching for payback tonight. Considering their momentum right now, the Celtics should be able to get it done tonight.
Prediction: Celtics -7 (-110)
