Best Bet for Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics

Best Bet: Boston Celtics -5.5 (-110)

Book: Best price at FanDuel

Our best bet for Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics is Celtics -5.5 (-110) against the spread.

The Boston Celtics maintain a strong 17-10 record on the road, while the Dubs are 18-10 at home. In addition, the Celtics have the second-best offensive rating, while their defensive rating puts them in the ninth spot among 30 teams. On the other hand, the Dubs are seeded 15th in terms of offense, whereas their defense puts them in the eighth spot.

This suggests that while Boston maintains an elite offense, the Warriors are slightly better than them in terms of defense. However, if we look at the bigger picture, Boston has gotten an upper hand over their foes.

The spread at Boston Celtics -5.5 fits the visitors well considering their strong record on the road. They cover well in such spots.

Keeping their elite offense, better record, and current form in mind, we are laying the Boston Celtics -5.5 (-110) as our Best Bet, and expect the visitors to cover the number tonight.

Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics Same Game Parlay Picks

3-Leg SGP (Safer)

Leg 1: Boston Celtics -7.5 (alternate spread)
Leg 2: Jaylen Brown Over 28.5 points
Leg 3: Payton Pritchard Over 17.5 points

Combined odds: +538

We have built this same-game parlay around the Boston Celtics to record a comparatively bigger win over the Warriors. Jaylen Brown leads the offensive engine for the Celtics, and Pritchard steps up whenever needed. We expect them to make the most of their offensive edge over the Dubs on Thursday.

These legs are correlated, considering if the Boston Celtics dominate the court right from the beginning, their players get volume. Thus, they would be able to get more scoring opportunities and end up with decent numbers on the scoring sheet. Hence, this is our safer SGP option.

De’Anthony Melton over 13.5 points (-118)
