And when Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors take on the Boston Celtics, don’t be surprised if someone goes for a big-time performance.

On the other hand, the Boston Celtics have been one of the best teams in the league since February and they have taken it up a notch. Many critics are hailing them as the contenders for the championship and their defensive identity has helped the case for sure.

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Green makes an impact straightaway: Draymond Green played 20 minutes or so in the last game and during that window, Stephen Curry made more than half of his three-pointers when Green was on the floor and this is not a surprise because of the way he sets screen and dishes out assists. This is the impact of Draymond on nightly and that is why the Warriors were able to light up the league when he was active. Not only he does bring elite defense, his playmaking, rebounding, and screen-setting are huge for the team on a nightly basis.

And with the guard rotation of Curry, Thompson, and Poole, all capable of scoring 20 or more regularly alongside wing Wiggins and Forward Jonathan Kuminga, the scoring is beautifully knit. Other than that, Kevon Looney brings great rebounding and defense while Otto Porter Jr. and Nemanja Bjelica form a strong bench too. With Green’s return, the Warriors become unbelievably deeper as he bolsters the frontline, adds versatility, and the Warriors are most likely going to be more effective away from home.

Celtics defend well: The Celtics lost to the Mavericks 92:95, another typical Celtics low-scoring affair. In that game, the Celtics shot around 37% and just 24% from beyond the arc, well, considering that they went up against the tight-knit defense of the Mavericks, this is barely a surprise but yes, the Celtics also forced 17 turnovers. The Celtics have been an elite defensive squad for the most part recently and they have also ridden the hot-hand of Jayson Tatum quite a bit. So, even against elite offensive squads, they have held the fort.

The Celtics have won 17 out of 21 games since January which means that they have been one of the best teams record-wise in that period. This rise of the Celtics has surely caused ripples among various Eastern teams. The upcoming schedule for the team isn’t that easy and around 60% of the time they will face teams with 50% win records and six of those games against these teams will be away from home. Let us see how Celtics respond to this.
