Warriors vs Celtics Game 6 Prediction and Odds: The host Boston Celtics will be starting as favorites in Game 6 of the NBA finals on Thursday. The latest odds and prediction for this game also favors a win for the host, Boston Celtics. |
As expected, it has been a riveting contest so far between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. The Warriors have managed to take a lead again after an emphatic win in Game 5. They will look to repeat the same brand of basketball on Friday in Game 6 and seal the series.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had another fantastic night in the playoffs as they added 45 points and 19 rebounds together. Marcus Smart was absolutely stellar as well. He scored 20 points with 3 rebounds and 2 assists. The Celtics have undoubtedly been the comeback kings this postseason as they haven’t lost two consecutive games since late March but it was the first time they lost 2 consecutive games in the post-season.
Ime Udoka’s men were behind the Warriors since the very start of the game. The credit goes to the defense of the Warriors as they restricted the Celtics to just 16 points in the first quarter when the Warriors scored 27.
The Golden State Warriors will be looking to win the season when they face on Thursday in Game 6. The Celtics will have home advantage but the pressure of the finals will be very high as they know a defeat will mean a wait of one more year to win the titles.

Celtics vs Warriors Game 4 Prediction: Predicted Winner
After losing the first game, the Golden State Warriors were quick to bounce in the Game 2 of the NBA finals but in Game 3 they faced a setback once again. They lost an away game and once again the Celtics were ahead in the series. Game 4 was a must-win for the Warriors, even as visitors they were able to defeat the Celtics. They went ahead of the Celtics by defeating them in a home game on Monday.
For the Celtics, the Game 6 becomes a do-of-die game. They will have home advantage but the two back-to-back defeats must have brought their morale down. The prediction and odds for this game also favors a win for the Celtics.
