The Celtics come into this contest with a record of 41-28 (35-33-1 ATS), good enough for fifth place in the East and an automatic berth in the playoffs if they started today. Boston’s +5.6 point differential is tops in the conference and a full point better than the East-leading Miami Heat at the moment. Miami is four games up on the Celtics with less than a month to go in the regular season.
The Warriors (47-22 SU, 35-30-4 ATS) are even better than Boston at +6.5, but their fortunes have been up and down since Draymond Green was lost to a back injury. Green is back on the court now and logged 20 minutes in Golden State’s 126-112 win over the Washington Wizards on Monday night. Andre Iguodala (back) remains out indefinitely for Golden State, while Gary Payton II (knee) is still day-to-day.

Jay’s Pick: This Warriors team is tough to beat when healthy and at home. They have covered five straight and look to be the team to beat in the West.
