Golden State Warriors
Boston Celtics
In the regular NBA championship, a match between the Golden State and Boston will take place. The meeting will be held in San Francisco on the night of Wednesday, December 20, with a scheduled start at 04:00 Central European Time.
Golden State Warriors
Golden State is yet to boast consistent results. After 26 games, the team has secured 12 victories, which doesn't secure a playoff spot. Currently, the Warriors are positioned 11th in the Western Conference, but they have enough time to improve their standing. The team will be without the disqualified Draymond Green in the near future, leaving much of the hope, as usual, on Stephen Curry, who's having a decent season.
Boston Celtics
The Celtics are displaying strength this season and are considered among the main favorites. The team dominates at home, securing victories in all 14 games played there. Despite five losses on the road, Boston leads the Eastern Conference table. Jason Tatum confidently leads the team in every match, averaging 27.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- Golden State has won their last five home matches.
- The Celtics have a similar winning streak.
- Last season, the teams played two matches, each securing a home victory.
Prediction
Despite the Warriors' decent form, I don't believe they are currently capable of stopping Boston. I'll be betting specifically on a Celtics win.
