Prediction
Celtics 125, Warriors 104
Moneyline (ML)
The Celtics (-909) are favored heavily, but the moneyline can’t be a recommended play with a $10 wager on Boston winning outright returning a profit of just $1.10. The Warriors (+600) are never an advisable play.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The CELTICS (-11.5, -125) have cashed in four of their past five games overall, and they’re also 4-1 ATS in the past five while working on one day of rest. On the flip side, the Warriors (+11.5, +105) have registered a solid 5-0 ATS mark in their past five road games against teams with a winning home record. They’re just 10-22-1 ATS in the previous 33 games following a cover. For some reason, the Dubs have long had a case of the Thursdays, going 7-19 ATS in the past 26 on this particular day of the week.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 221.5 (-106) is the way to go. The Over has cashed in four straight for the Dubs, while hitting the Over in four straight as underdogs, too. The Over is 6-1 in the past seven appearances on Thursdays.
For the C’s, while the Under has hit in four straight overall, the Over is 5-2 in their past seven games and 9-3 in their past 12 showings on Thursday.
