The current betting odds have the Celtics listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Celtics have looked great in their games this season with their 7-1 record overall which has them leading the East with the best record in the entire NBA. They have a ton of momentum on their side with 3 wins in a row now and they are 2-0 in their home games this season too. They also had the best home record in the NBA last year and are the defending NBA Champions. Meanwhile, the Warriors have also looked great in their games this season with their 6-1 record overall which has them leading the West with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They also have a lot of momentum on their side right now with 4 wins in a row and they have looked great in their road games too, going 4-0 in road games this year. As good as they have looked lately, they haven't played a ton of strong opponents on their win streak and this is going to be one of the toughest games of the season for them against the champs. The Celtics have been blowing out a lot of teams this season already and they really haven't lost any momentum from last season. This is the best team in the NBA right now and they will show why against the Warriors on their home court. The best way to place a bet here is on the Celtics to cover the spread in this game.
