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.

Celtics-Warriors odds: Boston eyes 10-game win streak

Previewing Friday’s Boston Celtics at Golden State Warriors sports betting odds, with NBA matchup analysis and picks

The first-place Boston Celtics (9-1) visit the last-place Golden State Warriors (2-10), Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Chase Center. We analyze the Celtics-Warriors odds and lines, with NBA betting advice and tips around the matchup.

The Celtics have won nine in a row since losing the season opener. PG Kemba Walker led the team in scoring in the last two wins, most recently dropping 25 points in a 140-133 home win over the Washington Wizards Wednesday.

The Warriors are on a five-game skid after suffering a 120-94 loss at the Los Angeles Lakers Wednesday in which they scored only 12 points in the fourth quarter.

Prediction

Celtics 119, Warriors 111

Moneyline (ML)

Boston (-358) will likely win, but the price is high – one has to wager $3.58 to profit $1 with a Celtics win.

The Celtics are 4-1 on the road; the Warriors are 1-5 at home.

With a scorer like PG D’Angelo Russell, the Warriors (+275) could pull an upset. Unlikely, but not impossible. Russell has averaged 34 points over the last four games, including a 52-point performance in an overtime loss at the Minnesota Timberwolves Nov. 8.

A big night from Russell, an off-night for the visiting Celtics and the Warriors could win bettors 2.75 to 1, but I’m going PASS.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Boston is favored at -7.5 (-106). Golden State is +7.5 (-115).

New to sports betting? Bet $10.60 to profit $10 that the Celtics win by eight or more points. Or bet $11.50 to profit $10 that the Warriors keep it within seven points in a loss or win outright.

Boston is 6-2-2 ATS, while Golden State is 4-8.

The line of 7.5 is just about right, so another PASS.

Over/under (O/U)

A slight lean to the OVER 226.5 (-106) – every $1.06 wagered profits $1 if the teams combine for 227 or more points. Boston is 5-5 O/U on the season and has played to three Overs in a row. Golden State is 8-4 O/U on the season, including going Over in five of its past six games.

The STRONGEST PLAY, however, is the 1st-half OVER 109.5 (-115). The Celtics have averaged 64.7 first-half points in their last three games, while the Warriors have allowed 65.3 first-half points in their last three games.
