Game Preview
As the Boston Celtics prepare to host the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, uncertainty looms over the availability of forward Jaylen Brown. Brown has missed the last two games due to a hip flexor strain, and coach Joe Mazzulla labeled him as "day to day" following the Celtics’ commanding 123-93 win over the Atlanta Hawks.
For bettors, Brown’s potential absence is a significant factor. He’s averaging 25.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game this season. Interestingly, the Celtics have a perfect 14-0 record in games he’s missed since the beginning of the 2023-24 season, a trend that could influence spread and moneyline considerations.
In Brown’s stead, Jayson Tatum has been elevating his game, pouring in 28 points—26 in the first half—against the Hawks. Tatum has been Boston’s leading scorer in six of their eight games, making him a strong candidate for player prop bets.
"He found advantages because he was creating space," Mazzulla said about Tatum. "He had a good balance of shooting threes and driving… Just a well-rounded game by him."
On the Warriors’ side, Stephen Curry returned from a three-game hiatus due to an ankle injury, contributing 24 points and six assists in a 125-112 victory over the Washington Wizards. Coach Steve Kerr noted that Curry was on a 24-minute restriction but expects him to be fully available against Boston, which could impact over/under totals and prop bets.
"He looked strong," Kerr said. "Assuming he feels good, I don’t anticipate a big minutes restriction for Boston."
Golden State is riding a four-game winning streak and boasts a 6-1 record—their best season start since winning 11 of their first 12 games in the 2021-22 season. Their perfect 4-0 road record adds intrigue for those considering against-the-spread wagers.
"We love the start," Kerr remarked. "But we also know that our schedule is about to get a lot harder… I like our progress, but we have a lot of work ahead."
Kerr emphasized the need for better offensive execution and increased defensive disruption, factors that could affect total points and team performance bets.
This matchup also rekindles a rivalry reminiscent of the NBA Finals a few years back. Tatum acknowledged the excitement: "We’re playing against Steph Curry, somebody that I’m close with… We’ve had a lot of battles over the last couple years. So, sure, it’ll be fun."
For those looking to place bets, key considerations include Brown’s playing status, the Warriors’ road prowess, and both teams’ recent performances. The Celtics’ success without Brown and the Warriors’ strong start make this a compelling game for various wagering opportunities, from point spreads to player performance props.
