BETTING TRENDS
Golden State are 4-8 SU in their last 12 games against Boston.
Golden State are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games on the road.
Boston are 13-7 SU in their last 20 games at home.
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Boston's last 12 games when playing at home against Golden State.
Prediction
This seems like a series destined to 7 games. The Warriors have won 2 games in a row and were capable of steal the win at Boston in Game 4 where the Celtics were dominating but they cameback and win the game. This is the first time the Celtics have lost 2 in a row in the playoffs and bench players like Derrick White who is key for the team, had an awful game 5 scoring only 1 point in 21 minutes played, so expect the Celtics bench to play better at home and help the team to force this series to a Game 7. Take the Celtics.
PICK: Celtics -3.5 (-110)
