Courtside Players Club (12/19/23) 2
NBA
(1 Pick)
10:00PM EST: Warriors +4.5 (3 Units).
With Porzingis ruled out, we like Golden State to cover. Luke Kornet has also been ruled out so the Celtics frontcourt will be short both literally and figuratively. As dominant as Boston has been at Home, they're just 6-5 on the road SU and 2-8-1 ATS. They also started the season 3-0 on the road. They've lost 3 straight and failed to cover in 5 straight road trips.Going back, 112-122 L @ Pacers, 96-113 L @ Magic, 118-121 L @ Hornets, 102-100 W @ Grizzlies, and 108-105 @ Raptors.
The Warriors are just 12-14 this season and 6-6 at Home but they've won 5 straight Home Games. They also had a down year last year but went 33-8 at Home. Still a very difficult place to play. The Opponent matters a lot here too. They're welcoming one of the Eastern Conference's best into their house and a rematch of the 2022 NBA finals. The Chase center will be packed and it will be rocking. You're going to get the best out of the Warriors tonight. With the Celtics decimated front-court, this should remain a competitive game.
