Why the Celtics can cover

Boston is a balanced, talented team, and the Celtics should benefit from matchup advantages against Golden State. The Warriors are currently a bottom-10 offensive team in the league, scoring only 1.08 points per possession. Golden State is also very poor on the glass, ranking in the bottom five of the NBA in offensive rebound rate (23.2 percent) and defensive rebound rate (71.4 percent).

Boston should also be able to get to the free throw line with consistency, as Golden State is second-worst in the NBA at preventing opponents from generating attempts at the charity stripe. The Celtics should punish the Warriors with second-chance opportunities, as Boston generates an offensive rebound on 29.1 percent of missed shots. Finally, Boston is very strong at generating turnovers, producing 9.1 steals per game and ranking sixth in the league in creating a turnover on 15.5 percent of defensive possessions.

Why the Warriors can cover

Golden State has one of the NBA's best offensive forces in Stephen Curry. Not only does Curry produce 27.7 points, 6.1 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game, his gravity allows the rest of the Warriors to flourish in an easier offensive environment. One example is the play of Andrew Wiggins, who is averaging 17.9 points per game and shooting 40.6 percent from 3-point range. As a team, the Warriors are also third in the NBA in assist rate (65.4 percent), and Golden State ranks in the top 10 in turnover avoidance, committing a giveaway on only 14.0 percent of offensive possessions.

On the other end, the Warriors are solid-or-better with Green on the court, and Golden State limits opponents to a 51.3 percent effective field goal shooting mark. Finally, the Warriors force a turnover on 15.1 percent of defensive possessions, a top-10 metric, and that variance could be crucial for Golden State against a quality opponent.
