Celtics Lead The Series 2-1
Boston led 68-56 at halftime of Game 3, then Golden State cut the deficit to four points at the end of the third quarter. The Warriors scored 33 points in the third quarter, but went cold in the fourth — scoring just 11 points in the final quarter. That allowed the Celtics to pad their lead down the stretch, and Boston eventually took Game 3 by a score of 116-100.
Boston now has a 2-1 series lead with a chance to step into a strong 3-1 series position if it can pull out a home victory in Game 4. The Celtics are now -225 to win the NBA Finals while the Warriors fell to +180 at BetMGM. If we turn those odds into implied probability, it suggests Boston has a 69% chance to claim the title. If the Warriors can pull out the road victory in Game 4, there’s a good chance they’ll be favored to win the NBA Finals with the series heading back to the west coast.

Warriors Vs Celtics Game 4 Prediction
Curry’s injury is worrisome, but oddsmakers aren’t overreacting to this situation. In fact, the spread (Boston -3.5) is the exact same as Game 3. If you recall, the sentiment was much different heading into that contest, as Golden State crushed the Celtics 107-88 in Game 2.
It all comes down to this: Can the Warriors bounce back in a tough atmosphere on the road? Their track record screams ‘yes’. Golden State has won six straight games outright following a loss. Five of those came in the playoffs. This is a resilient team that spent the last two days listening to pundits talk about how soft they are. Golden State has a chip on its shoulder, and there’s value in the betting line. Take the Warriors.
