The Warriors and Celtics split the season series one game apiece. The Celtics are the only team with a winning record against the Warriors since Steve Kerr took over as head coach at 9-7, but Golden State has the home-court advantage and three extra days of rest. This series could go either way, which creates plenty of opportunity for you as a bettor to cash in.
