2 Top Bets to Make on Warriors vs Celtics
1. Boston Stays Perfect at Home
Boston has started this season the same way it ended last season. Overwhelming teams with its offensive attack while also playing strong defense. The Celtics lead the NBA in scoring at 123.6 points per game, hitting a league-best 19.0 3-pointers per game.
Forward Jayson Tatum has upped his production this season, averaging 30.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.9 steals, putting him among the early betting favorites for the league MVP award.

But it’s not just Jayson Tatum that has the Celtics among the NBA predictions to win the title. Guard Jaylen Brown is adding 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals while guard Derrick White has stepped into a more prominent scoring role, averaging 19.0 points.
Golden State has been known for its scoring prowess from the backcourt, but with Curry injured and Klay Thompson now launching shots for the Mavericks, it’s a bit of a different look this season.
Guard Buddy Hield leads the team with 21.9 points per game, even though he’s only made one start in the season’s first seven games. Hield is shooting 50% from 3-point range, connecting on nearly five triples a game.
Boston just has too much firepower for Golden State to pull this one out. For tonight’s game, bet online on the Celtics at home to cover the spread.

2. 3-Point Shooting Teams Should Eclipse Betting Total
Even though the Warriors are second in the NBA in scoring defense, allowing just 104.3 points per game, they’re going to have a hard time against the Celtics. Boston is very perimeter-oriented, with even reserve guard Payton Pritchard scoring 16.0 points per game.
And this team can not only shoot from the outside but also get to the basket. Tatum and Brown drive strong to the hole, drawing fouls and finishing at the rim.
Golden State does limit opponents to a league-best 28.3% from 3-point range, but we just don’t see Boston having trouble scoring against the Warriors.
On the flip side, Golden State also has a balanced attack, with Buddy Hield being joined by Andrew Wiggins (15.8 points), Jonathan Kuminga (13.6) and Moses Moody (10.6) in double-digit scoring. Throw in the all-around play of Draymond Green (8.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists) and Golden State will get some points on the board in this one as well.
The defense will intensity near the end of the game, but we like both teams to score a lot, pushing this game over the total. Make one of your NBA bets for this game on the over.
