It is an NBA Finals rematch as the defending champion Golden State Warriors are fielding one of their healthiest teams of the season to visit the NBA-leading Boston Celtics on TNT Thursday. Here are our Warriors vs. Celtics NBA picks based on the top odds.
The Warriors have failed to get any long-term momentum this season – partially due to injuries and partially due to underperforming – especially on the road where they have an embarrassing 5-17 record. On Thursday, they will have their full preferred starting lineup o f Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney in action.
The Celtics, on the other hand, are feeling it once again and have won seven straight games. They now look to get revenge against a Warriors team that beat them in their first meeting on the West Coast but might have to do it without their second option on offense, Jaylen Brown, who has been out for the last three games due to an adductor injury. Boston will list Brown as questionable ahead of the primetime contest.
