Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics Prediction, Pick Against the Spread and Latest Odds
The Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics clash for a rematch of the 2022 NBA Finals tonight. Golden State comes into this contest with a record of 6-1. Early in the season, Golden State has been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA.
After years of being the top team in basketball, the Warriors missed out on the playoffs last season, losing their play-in matchup against the Sacramento Kings.
In the offseason, Golden State moved on from long-term Warrior Klay Thompson, ending the Splash-Brother era.
Steph Curry returns as the team star, but injuries have slowed the Chef down early in the season. Curry has played in just four games this season.
The Celtics roll into the contest with a record of 7-1.
Joe Muzzulas's team entered the season as the betting favorite to win the NBA Finals and repeat. As of today, the Celtics remain the betting favorite, and for good reason.
On paper, there is no team in the NBA more talented than Boston. The Celtics finally displayed that talent a season ago on their way to their first NBA Championship since 2008.
Anything less than a ring this season will be considered a disappointment.
