Warriors Favored To Win Series
The Warriors pulled out a 107-97 road victory in Game 4, evening the series at 2-2. Stephen Curry’s ankle injury was the biggest question heading into that contest. He erased all doubts with an epic 43-point, 10 rebound, and 5 assist performance in Boston. Can the former MVP keep his squad going as the series returns to California?
The Celtics were -225 to win the NBA Finals while holding a 2-1 lead. Thanks to Golden State’s Game 4 victory, the Warriors are now marginally favored (-140) to lift the trophy. Golden State coach Steve Kerr pressed the right buttons by taking Draymond Green off the floor on Friday, so now it’s Boston’s turn to counter.
The Celtics have been outstanding in this situation, winning their last 10 games following a loss. Seven of those victories came in the playoffs.

Injury Report
Andre Iguodala (knee) and Otto Porter Jr. (foot) are questionable. They were both listed as questionable in Game 4 but activated prior to the game. Porter started and saw 15 minutes while Iguodala received a DNP-CD.
Robert Williams (knee) is questionable. Has Williams been listed as questionable throughout most of the playoffs? Yes. Has he looked good in the NBA Finals despite that/ Also yes. However, reports suggest he tweaked his knee in the fourth quarter of Game 4. As a result, we’ll need to keep an eye on this situation.

Celtics Vs Warriors Game 5 Prediction
The Celtics have been one of the best bounce-back teams in recent history, rattling off 10 straight victories following a loss. These aren’t your vanilla, middle-of-March winners while breezing past bottom-tier teams. On the contrary, Boston has pulled off seven of those 10 wins in the playoffs. Will that streak turn to 11 in Game 5?
We were able to profit from the zig-zag theory in Game 4, cashing our Warriors +145 moneyline ticket. Let’s keep that theme going by betting on a Celtics bounce back. Boston has proved numerous times this postseason that it can win outright as a road underdog. Given the Celtics’ track record, there’s plenty of value in taking Boston +145 on the moneyline in Game 5.
Of course, we’ll need to double-check the situation of Boston big man Williams, as he is listed as questionable. The expectation is for him to start and play, but we aren’t sure if the knee ailment will reduce his minutes or effectiveness. Either way, Boston +145 is too much value to pass up.
Taking the Celtics to win the second quarter is another bet to monitor. We all know about the Warriors’ dominance in the third quarter, and the sportsbooks are starting to catch on. However, Boston has been fantastic in the second quarter, and this is a sneaky-good bet. The Celtics have won the second quarter 3-of-4 times against the Warriors. That makes sense, as Curry usually sits to begin the second stanza, and Boston is arguably the deeper team.
You’ll probably have to bet Boston to win the second quarter live, but it’s another plus-value opportunity to claim a betting unit.
The pick: Celtics moneyline (+145) for 1 unit
The in-game pick: Celtics to win 2nd quarter (live) for 0.5 unit
