Boston Celtics +12 (-109) @ Golden State Warriors
Oracle Arena, Oakland, California
April 1, 2016, 7:30PM PDT
Our computer simulation + power rankings approach gives the Warriors an 8-9 point advantage over the Celtics at Oracle Arena this evening. Thus, we are comfortable taking the dozen points and backing Boston to cover.
In addition to our primary framework though, we notice that the Celts have covered in each of the three head-to-head meetings with the Warriors in calendar 2015. Further, Boston is 5-1 ATS vs. Golden State in their last six games.
Also, the Warriors 2-5 record versus the number of late hints that fatigue might be playing a role in the Dubs' late-season performance.
Take the dozen points and back the Celts to stay within striking distance.
Happy betting!!
