Things have gone downhill for the Golden State Warriors ever since Jimmy Butler got hurt in January, and that’s been compounded by Steph Curry missing the last five games.
The Warriors are hoping the potential debut of Kristaps Porzingis will help, but either way, the Dubs are in for a tough night against the Boston Celtics.
My Celtics vs. Warriors predictions and NBA picks break down why buckets will be hard to come by for the home team, with tip-off set for 10:00 p.m. ET at the Chase Center in San Francisco on Thursday, February 19.
Celtics vs Warriors prediction
Celtics vs Warriors best bet: Warriors team total Under 103.5 (-115)
Thanks to injuries and roster movement, this Golden State Warriors team has plenty of issues.
None are more glaring than its ability to generate offense when Steph Curry isn’t on the floor. Golden State ranks 27th in offensive rating, scoring just 104.2 points per game in the five games without Steph.
Tonight, the Warriors host a Boston Celtics team that continues to thrive without Jayson Tatum. Boston ranks ninth in defensive rating and third in opponent effective field-goal percentage.
Bet on the Dubs to finish under their team total in this one.

Celtics vs Warriors same-game parlay
Steph being out means fewer buckets. Jimmy Butler being out means less defense.
The Warriors are suddenly struggling in all areas of the game, ranking 27th in rebounding rate and 25th in opponent assists per possession since Butler went down.
Golden State’s best interior presence right now is Draymond Green, which will open the door for Nikola Vucevic to control the paint.
Meanwhile, Payton Pritchard has been racking up the dimes, recording seven or more assists in five of his last seven contests.
