The match is between Golden State Warriors (6-1) and Boston Celtics (7-1) at TD Garden. Both teams have been in excellent form this season, making this a great game to watch. The Celtics are on a 7.5-point favourite and an over/under of 229.5 points. The Celtics are the favorite at -285 on the moneyline while the Warriors are +232 underdogs. Now, let’s dive into the best picks, spread, over/under, and key player prop picks.
Warriors vs. Celtics Betting Odds
Spread: Celtics -7.5 (-110)
Over/Under: 229.5 points (-110/-110)
Moneyline: Celtics -285, Warriors +232
The Celtics have had a fantastic season, sixth in the league in Adjusted Net Rating, but the Warriors have been more scrappy, especially with Stephen Curry sitting out three games to nurse an ankle injury. Both teams take a pride in elite 3-point shooting; what a delight this one is going to be.
Warriors vs. Celtics Prediction and Picks
Moneyline Pick
The Celtics is the favorite to win outright but the price is a little too expensive at -285. Boston will surely win, but Warriors already showed they can make upsets, and at +232 perhaps it’s also a little too much of a risk for a not-so-important reward.
Spread Pick
At +7.5, take the Warriors to cover. While the Celtics are a solid favorite, the Warriors are capable of remaining within striking distance of good teams. Curry’s return should benefit the team, and with an elite defense on 3-pointers, this game should be closer.
Over/Under
Both teams are stout vs. the 3-point shot, so look for this game to play at a slower pace and thus limit scoring chances. The Warriors are 3-4 to the under this season, while the Celtics have been 5-3 to the under. The under is a solid play here.
With his minutes on the increase as he works his way back from an injury, Stephen Curry should be in for more playing time. Without the same depth of minutes so far this season, Curry still averaged 26.5 points per game against the Celtics in their last 10 games. I will take Stephen Curry to go Over 22.5 points in this game.
Warriors vs. Celtics Best Bets
Warriors +7.5
Stephen Curry Over 22.5 points
You can combine all those picks into a same-game parlay for more value at +575 odds at DraftKings or Bet365. Both bets carry significant value from the dynamics of the matchup.
Warriors vs. Celtics Preview
Team Breakdown
The Celtics are one of the best teams in terms of offense, with most of that coming from beyond the arc. They are the best team in the league at making 3-pointers per game. But the Warriors have a particularly strong defense against the 3-ball, which could blunt Boston’s attack.
Jaylen Brown won’t play for the Celtics because of a hip injury. The Warriors might regain Brandin Podziemski, who is out with an illness. Expect Curry to play more minutes, making this a huge game for him.
Key Matchups
Stephen Curry vs Derrick White: Curry must score effectively from anywhere on the floor and really is the key if Boston will try to keep him contained regarding 3-point attempts.
Draymond Green vs. Jayson Tatum: Green’s defense on Tatum is the way that can keep Boston from facing a high-scoring game out of Tatum.
Warriors vs. Celtics Prediction
This is one of those games where the Warriors should be very close to win, covering +7.5 spread. Curry’s scoring ability should pop through, but I still take the Celtics even without Brown. My good play is to take the under because both the Celtics and Warriors can defend their way to an under or against those 3-pointers.
Conclusion
This game between the Warriors and Celtics on November 6 is going to be a real battle. The Celtics have the favorable matchup, but the Warriors should cover +7.5, while Curry’s scoring will go over 22.5 points. The under of 229.5 points is the best total, as well as of both of these teams due to their defense.
