BOS vs GSW Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors

BOS vs GSW Dream11: The NBA season has been in its final stages and we have been amidst another riveting season. Just two games remain and we will see a new champion being crowned soon. In the Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the Boston Celtics will host the Golden State Warriors. The series is tied and a lot is at stake.

In Game 2, the Golden State Warriors showed their home-floor prowess and won 107:88 as Stephen Curry pinched 29 points. The Celtics have shown certain vulnerabilities on their home floor but matters are tied as of now so they can still get their rhythm on their home floor. Can the Warriors make matters more difficult for the Celts here?

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

The Celts are not stable at home but time is on their side

This is a crucial game and with the series still fresh, no team has established its superiority yet. Sure, the Warriors won by a big margin last time, but the Celts have played a couple of seven-game series in a row. This means that they are used to adversity and know how to make adjustments. But the Warriors have shown them different looks and then there is the same old matter of containing Stephen Curry.

Curry has had two strong games in a row and well, this has to be an alarming sign for the Celts. Double-teaming him is lethal too as he has scorers like Thompson, Poole, and Wiggins around him, which makes the job tough when guarding the Warriors. Looney has been a strong inside scorer as well and this combination surely serves the team well.

If we talk about the Celtics, one thing has been peculiar. Their two major scorers have been off from the field in alternate games. In Game 1, Jayson Tatum shot 3/17 but then did a much better job in Game 2, whereas Jaylen Brown shot just 5/17 in Game 2. In the last game, Smart, Horford, and Williams III weren’t much of a factor but I believe they will do much better here. It will be interesting to see how the Celts guard Curry this time around.
