I'm really excited about the Finals, i slightly favor Boston in this matchup due to their individual defense and athleticism, but Golden State has home-court advantage, so yeah...that even things up, should be a 6-7 game series. In terms of betting on Game 1, i went with two props, one for each team:

∆ A. Wiggins 15+ PR / S. Curry 4+ assists / D. Green 1+ blocks @2.03 ∆ X

Looking at A. Wiggins' playoff numbers thus far, all i see is consistency. He's averaging 16 and 7 in those 16 games. Curry is averaging just over 6 assists per game in the playoffs and nearly 10/L3. The Celtics may decide to take away his 3s, resulting in simple dump passes to Looney/or whoever. Green is averaging roughly one block per game in the playoffs, with at least one in each game 1s (vs. Den, Mem, and Dal).

∆ J. Brown 20+ PR / M. Smart 3+ rebounds / J. Tatum 35+ PRA @1.72 ∆ X

Brown has 20+ PR in 17 of 18 postseason games and had an excellent game the last time these two teams met in March. Celtics pushed the pace early and often in game 7 against Miami, and it started on several occasions with Smart picking up the rebound and running down the floor. He's had 3 or more rebounds in 7/L8. As for J. Tatum, he is averaging 40+ PRA throughout the playoffs and has played really well in the last couple of games.

I like the Warriors spread at -3.5 but i'll go with a safer pick and take advantage of Stake's promo with the Warriors to win @1.60 hoping they'll get at least 12 points or more since the leads can easily go out of hand between these two teams. I just hope the Warriors don't start slow as the Celtics usually take advantage of building early leads.

I'm also riding on the Warriors bandwagon, at least this game. I still want to see Jayson Tatum's performance against the defense of Wiggins. This is again a good match up for Wiggs specially on how he work out defensively and offensively Luka Doncic.

So like the majority of you, I will be betting on the handicap at -3.5. If the Warriors pull a big lead on the first half, it will be hard for the Celtics to do a catchup. But if it's close, then Steph will bring need to bring his shooting again.

Definitely many are going with the Warriors after what they did to Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks and they ended their conference finals with a near sweep, definitely, Bookies will highly favor the Golden State Warriors, and they are highly the favorite to win in this game, and I am pretty much excited about the match, actually.


And you are having doubts yourself if the Boston Celtics can cover up the spread on this game if the Golden State Warriors are doing the same, like I said I am pretty confident right now in saying that the Warriors will be champion this season, after what they did to the Memphis Grizzlies, after their lost from underestimating the Grizzlies because Ja Morant was injured, they have changed their approach and dominate the game I think they can do it aswell with the Celtics, and on the Dallas Maverick's game that made the Phoenix Suns the rank 1 in the Western Conference have ended their run with a 4 - 3 Lead was nearly sweep by the Warriors I think this is a no brainer that the Warriors will heavily favored in the 1st game,

One thing I noticed though, maybe it's just me, is that the referee are not calling fouls against the Warriors. We've seen this in the Memphis and then the Mavs series. But it seems that the Warriors, specially Steph, take this personally against the referee and then exploded for 30+ per game to take the win and now they are in the finals. Just telling to look for those fouls that are not going to be called let's see if Curry drives and then there is a obvious foul but the ref are not going to blow their whistle. Warriors at -3.5.

I think golden state took that finals for granted.  You might see a steph you have never seen before.  They have to know eventually all runs end this could be their last go around.  I expect to see steph gold tonight.  Taking them and giving the points tonight.  Just gonna cross my fingers taytum doesn't go out and have one of them game wrecking nights where he is unstoppable.

Nope, their last Finals appearance was the NBA Finals of 2019 where they got a 2-4 record against the heavy line-up of the Toronto Raptors. Surely that line-up gave the Warriors a hard time especially Stephen Curry as he was against Kawhi Leonard.

Back to the topic, the chances of the Celtics and Warriors are just equal. That example against the Raptors was a perfect example because the Warriors is the back to back champion that time and have so much experience in the playoffs and Finals but they are still vulnerable and got defeated.

I'm following. Just 211.5. I don't want to go greedy in the first game of the Finals. Let's also try to figure out the scoring capability of both teams in this kind of match.
I hope so. Be strict. Sometimes they are surprised and blow their whistles whenever a player shouts for a foul. That should be avoided and I think they did during the Miami Heat vs Celtics game. There's one time when Marcus Smart did an obvious flop and thank goodness the refs didn't bite it. 

Will be betting for Golden State Warriors for Game 1 @-4.5. I don't really like the spreads but it's the homecourt advantage so I guess we have to just accept it.

Who wouldn't love that play, right? The game was too intense and I'm sure that even the referees are enjoying the game too. I just hope that we can see some fair and square referees again this upcoming Finals, we already have a good teams playing with different capabilities and we cannot afford to see some refs to give unjust calls.

I've got the Overs 211.5 @ 1.75, I think game 1 will be a high scoring one with both teams still trying to figure things out, and before the necessary adjustments would be made by respective coaches in the succeeding games, and moreover I think the Celtics vs Heat series saw some games go Under because of how awful the Miami Heat's offense was during the game, and I don't think the Warriors offense would ever go that cold due to the number of great shot makers on the roster.

I hope not everyone is on the Warriors, it's seemed like the public are all over the Warriors, I'm afraid the refs will fix it so the Celtics will cover the spread. Although I think of that possibility already, I can't trust the Celtics to cover specially if the Warriors are dominating the game. I'm not so confident so I'll just put a little bet on the Warriors spread in game 1.

I'll take the Warriors at that odds, this is game 1 of the series, it's a must win by the Warriors and I think Celtics will be dominated by a good home team like the Warriors. They have to remember that Warriors ain't a one man or two man show.

A -4.5 handicap on the Warriors side is not that bad along with its odds, for sure there will be a lot of bettors who will ride that spread and odds and of course that includes me Though there are also bettors who believed that the Celtics will take the first win tomorrow but I think their chances are just slim because Game 1 will be played at the Warriors homecourt. Well, anyway, maybe that will happen. Good luck folks!

Warriors fans will surely take this one, not sure if there's something behind or maybe bookies also consider Boston

as a good competitor, dub fans will take these opportunities believing that Warriors can easily cover this handicap, if they
will play solid and manage to bring tough defense with Boston main scorers, it will be another blowout for the Warriors
not going to easily conclude this game since it will impact as whole while playing the series,.

So it's game 1 tomorrow night, for sure many are going to ride on the Warriors side because they have the tools to win the championship again.-3.5 is the opening line for them, but I a guess putting a bet higher for a better odds might not heard us.

So I'm going with the -4.5, current odds: 1.98.

Best of luck to all bettors, 

And now that the game was tomorrow we can surely see at the 1st game who is more superior, If the Boston Celtics have a superior Defense, or if the Golden State Warriors have a killer lineup, that many in the NBA need to be feared, And for me, I really liked the Boston Celtics with their very good defensive plays but Compared to the Golden State Warriors that certainly has the widest variety of plays and I think they can play on a more defensive or offensive if they want to, we can say they are an all-rounded team, for me, I would definitely go with the Warriors and loves watching Stephen Curry playing for the Warriors, because it is very entertaining, and we could really see in game 1 if who's the real superiors one,

Now here is my pick for Tomorrows's game 1

Golden State Warriors VS Boston Celtics

Stake Odds for this game are 1.61 for the Warriors while 2.40 for the Celtics, and right now Gary Payton II, Otto Porter Jr., and Andre Iguodala are questionable if they can play for the Warriors, while Robert Williams III is questionable if he can play for the Boston Celtics, from my standpoint I will be very bias for the Golden State Warriors because I definitely think that they will be champion this season, but let's not be very underestimating with the Celtics because they can pull a good win when they need too, but playing with Home Court advantage proves very advantageous for the the Golden State Warriors, this is the 1st game and I am expecting a good game for both teams,

Same here, this is much interesting to see because we can see some new team and faces playing in the Finals which is the Boston Celtics and they're against the time tested Warriors who made numerous appearance with the same trio.

As for Wiggins, pretty much he will have some hard time guarding Tatum especially now that the latter have stepped up his game even more. Same as Steph Curry because in the recent games with the Celtics, Curry's shot is limited when he is guarded by Marcus Smart. But this will be scenarios is not final and obviously we will see some adjustments every game.

That's very possible but it will be depends on how both teams will compete. Remember, it's the finals and

both teams are capable of surprise and upset one another. Key players' impacts will be the most awaited here, if how they
will shine high and help in winning the games.

In terms of finals MVP, Curry might not waste this opportunity to win this award, Iggy and KD take it from him
and now another chance is knocking. It's time.

That's still possible, however, I would trust the record of the Warriors in the finals appearance, they have more wins than losses and the last time I remember they lose in the Finals was against the Cavaliers in game 7, so no way they'll be lose by 4-1 record.

I will be cool with that too. But if ever Wiggins shows how great of an impact he is this series and provides more contributions to win, he might just steal it too.
Yeah, something like that. Or the Celtics steal one at Chaste Center, win both at TD Garden, and end it at Chaste. Ouch! Just kidding.  
I just took it while the profit was fat. Because once GSW won one game that may change substantially downward. It's just a prediction and I am not saying it will happen accurately as the Celtics are not to be underestimated.
