Premium Pick

Boston gets an opportunity to get payback at home for its 123-107 loss at Golden State in December and also after losing to the Warriors in the NBA Finals last season. The Celtics are clearly in better form, winning seven in a row including the last three on the road, and sweeping a two-game set with Charlotte culminating with Jayson Tatum exploding for 51 points against the Hornets on Monday as the game went OVER by 17.5 points. The Warriors have lost four of their past six games and five of them went OVER, including the last four. Golden State is just 5-17 on the road and Boston is 17-5 at home. The Warriors allow 123.4 points per game on the road and the Celtics average 122.0 points at home. Take the Celtics on the moneyline and the OVER.
