Celtics vs Warriors Picks and Prediction: Defending Champs Visit a Shorthanded Chase Center

The Boston Celtics, sitting 2nd in the Eastern Conference at 35-19, travel to face 8th-placed Golden State at Chase Center on Thursday, February 19, tipping off at 10:00 PM ET. With the Celtics riding a 6-1 stretch heading into the All-Star break behind Jaylen Brown's MVP-caliber 29.3 PPG campaign and the NBA's 2nd-ranked defense, this matchup pits a title contender operating at full steam against a Warriors squad limping into the second half of the season without Steph Curry (knee) and Jimmy Butler, sitting 25-30 ATS and having lost four of their last six as two franchises trending in opposite directions open the 2025-26 stretch run at Chase Center.

Suns vs Spurs Picks and Prediction: Phoenix Tries to Spoil Wemby's Home Court

Phoenix Suns, sitting 7th in the Western Conference at 32-23, travel to face 2nd-placed San Antonio at Moody Center on Thursday, February 19, tipping off at 8:30 PM ET. With the Suns navigating a rough road stretch, going 1-3 over their last four heading into the break and playing nine of ten contests at home, this matchup pits a shorthanded Phoenix squad (missing Dillon Brooks via suspension) against a Spurs team riding a six-game winning streak, averaging 130-plus points during that run, and sitting second in the West at 38-16 with the NBA's third-best defensive rating, as both franchises head into the second half of the 2025/26 campaign on drastically different trajectories.
