Two of the hottest teams meet in Boston when the Celtics host the Golden State Warriors.
Boston is 7-1 on the year and leads the NBA in scoring at 123.6 points per game on 50.9 three-point attempts per contest. Little was wrong with Boston and they were not their demise. The Celtics have the third fewest turnovers per game (11.8) and the second best free throw percentage (82.2%). However, Jaylen Brown is out for this game (hip), adding a wrinkle to this matchup.
Golden State is 6-1 this season and winners of four in a row. Steph Curry of the Warriors returned to the lineup in the victory over the wizards and he led the team in scoring (24 points) and assists (six). Golden State has lost the last two trips to TD Garden and this is a dangerous Celtics team that the Warriors will prepare for.
That being said, let’s dive into the matchup and offer up some information and maybe a sweat or two.

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Celtics to worry about the fraudulent Warriors and Andrew Wiggins staying below his point total:
“Golden State is 6-1 on the year but those six wins have come against Portland, Utah, New Orleans, Houston and Washington. Only New Orleans made the playoffs last year of that stretch and is a combined 9-20 this season.
The only loss for Golden State came against Los Angeles (112-104), who made the postseason last year. Boston was a tank and could beat Golden State by 10-plus at home, especially if this goes away early.
Golden State will need Stephen Curry and Buddy Hield to put up impressive efforts to keep it close, but I don’t see it. I like Boston -6 and lean toward first half Team Total, which is 6-2 this season.
For props, fading Andrew Wiggins is my play tonight. His line is 12.5 points and he is coming off his worst game of the season against the Wizards.
Wiggins went 1-of-9 from the field, 0-of-6 from three, and 3-of-4 from the free throw line for five points in 18 minutes. Wiggins only had three fouls, so it was his game, not the bad problem that kept him limited.
Going to Boston won’t be easy and guys like Steph Curry, Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield and Moses Moody all have similar or higher usage habits for Golden State. I like Wiggins to go under 12.5 points.”
