Boston at Golden State

The trends favor Boston in the pivotal Game 5 as the Celtics are 8-1 ATS playing with two days rest and 9-2-1 ATS overall as road underdogs. Also, the Celtics are 18-7-2 ATS their past 27 games as underdogs overall and, most importantly, 13-3 ATS their past 16 games following a loss and Golden State is just 3-8 ATS after a win. Boston had no answer for Stephen Curry, who scored 43 points, but the Celtics' main problems were turnovers and lousy shooting and those are two things that can be corrected on Monday night. Boston had 15 turnovers and shot only 40 percent and Jayson Tatum missed 15 of 23 shots. Boston has not lost two games in a row since March 30 and hasn't lost two straight ATS since April 1. Curry went 14-for-26 on Friday, but the rest of the Warriors were only 26 of 65 (40 percent) from the field. The home court hasn't meant much so far in this series. Take the Celtics.
