Warriors vs. Celtics odds and betting tr

Game 3 of the NBA Finals will tip-off on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET at TD Garden. After a disappointing series opener, Ryan Succop Jersey the Warriors bounced back with a 19-point win over the Celtics on Sunday. Before you place any wagers on the pivotal Game 3, well give you all the betting insight you need to know, including the latest odds, trends, and predictions.Boston received good performances from both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in Game 2; however, Golden State made sure that the trio of Al Horford, Marcus Smart, and Derrick White was held in check. Golden State leaned on Steph Curry, who led the team with a game-high 29 points and is now the betting favorite to win Finals MVP.The Warriors also saw Jordan Poole snap out of his Game 1 slump and play a major role in one of their patented third-quarter runs. With Golden State tying up the series at 1-1, its now the favorite to win the Finals (-122) heading into Game 3. Spread: Celtics -3.5Over/under: 212.5Moneyline: Warriors +126, Celtics -152Golden State is 5-0 in the postseason after a lo s and defeating its opponents by 15.4 points per game. The Dubs will now try to take their act on the road where they are 3-4 straight up in this years playoffs. The Celtics are one of the best teams after a lo sBoston wouldve loved to win Game 2 on Sunday night to take a commanding 2-0 series lead. However, it still technically swung home court after a convincing win in Game 1.Of course, the Celtics havent exactly been dominant at home this postseason, going 5-4 at TD Garden. The good news for Celtics fans is that Tatum and Co. havent lost back-to-back games in the playoffs and are defeating teams by 15.5 points per game after a lo s. That is the fourth-highest playoff differential in the past 50 postseasons, .The Warriors are not a great bet on a road in the playoffsFor Golden State to win this series, it has to get over its road i sues and take either Game 3 or 4. The Warriors are 3-4 away from Chase Center and 2-5 against the spread in the playoffs.Their two ATS wins happened in Game 3 in the first round against the Nuggets, where they Taylor Lewan Jersey won 118-113 (-2.5), and Game 3 in the West Conference Finals against the Mavs (109-100, +3). The Warriors are 3.5-point underdogs for Game 3, which is a number that they should be able to cover, but weve seen a ton of blowouts in the playoffs. However, Golden State is 7-3 ATS this season when the spread was between +2 and +5.Where in the world is Klay Thompson?Thompson has struggled throughout the first two games, and thats not a long-term recipe for succe s for the Warriors. The multiple-time All-Star is averaging just 13 points and shooting 30.3 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from three-point range Curley Culp Jersey (7.5 attempts per game).Its rare to see Thompson shooting this poorly in the NBA Finals, as hes one of the most accomplished three-point shooters in NBA history. Heading into the Finals, he was shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 39.9 percent from beyond the arc in the postseason. Its reasonable to expect Thompsons shooting to come back to life over these next two games, but inconsistency is still a worry given Bostons elite defense.Boston needs Horford, Smart, and White to play well in Games 3 and 4The trio of Horford, Smart, and White was non-existent on Sunday, as the Warriors made it a point of emphasis to contest their shots and take up airspace. The Celtics trio scored 16 points, with White leading the way with 12 points.This was a far cry from what we saw from these three players in Game 1 when they had 65 combined points. It doesnt matter what Tatum and Brown do if Smart and Horford are only going to score four combined points on 2-of-7 shooting from the floor. White is holding up his end of the bargain through two games, and Smart and Horford need to do the same in Game 3. Against the spreadWarriors +3.5. The Celtics have been excellent after lo ses in the playoffs, but they have not been great at TD Garden. Boston is 4-5 ATS at home and 22-26-2 ATS overall (including the regular season). Meanwhile, the Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their past eight games but just 2-5 ATS on the road in the playoffs.Something has to give in Game 3 between these two teams, and I think Golden State will be the team on the winning side. In Game 2, the Warriors forced the Celtics into 19 turnovers, which led to 33 points. This season, Steve Kerrs crew is 9-10 ATS as a road underdog and 12-10 ATS overall as an underdog.Over/Under212.5. The best play for Game 3 is UNDER 212.5 after what we saw happen on Sunday from both teams. It was a close game throughout the first two quarters before the Warriors went on one of their legendary third-quarter runs. Thats le s likely to happen in Cameron Wake Jersey Boston, as shown by the fact Golden State is averaging 4.3 fewer points per game on the road than at home in third quarters of this years playoffs.The Celtics would rather win a game in the low 100s rather than 120-108, which they did in Game 1. Remember, these are still two of the best defensive teams in the NBA and have shown that throughout the playoffs, so we might be due for a cla sic playoff slugfest.Player propSteph Curry OVER 5.5 a sists (+104). Curry has been doing it all for the Warriors and was the primary catalyst for Game 2s win. The superstar point guard is shooting the lights out through the first two games, averaging 31.5 points per game on Adam Humphries Jersey 45.5-percent shooting from the field and 45.9 percent from three.However, Curry is also doing a great job of grabbing boards and making sure to get his teammates involved. The 34-year-old point guard is averaging just 4.5 a sists through the first two games of the Finals, but he averaged over nine a sists per game in the final three contests of the Western Conference Finals. At plus-money, you cannot go wrong with Curry slightly upping his distribution, as he always has the ball in his hands and could face more aggre sive shot denial from the Celtics going forward.
