Our Celtics vs Warriors Game 3 Predictions

We went 3-1 with our previous predictions so let’s prepare that same mindset for Game 3 on Wednesday. The Celtics-Warriors series is shaping up what many people thought it would be. A balanced back-and-forth battle between two defensive teams but both is capable of doing enough damage on the offensive end as well. Golden State’s dominating 3rd quarter push routed the Celtics.

The boys in green shot an inefficient 37.5% from the floor. The same thing happened to the Celtics in Game 2 as it did for the Warriors in Game 1. Iguodala’s status remains the only possible concern regarding the injury reports. According to June 6 updates, the 2015 Finals MVP is listed as day-to-day or questionable. It seems unlikely that he’ll play in Boston on Wednesday night. Let’s get into the Celtics vs Warriors Game 3 predictions.

The Celtics are the favorites to win Game 3 in Boston, where they’re the deadliest. Not many like the Warriors’ chances on Wednesday even though they’re more than capable of winning on the road. Curry looks like the clear-cut Finals MVP after two games. Additionally, because of their mistakes in the previous meeting, the Celtics will try to switch things up on Steph. We think Game 3 will be a high-scoring one with the over/under set at 212.5 points. Jaylen Brown will also have a bigger impact. The Celtics are moving between the -3 or the -3.5 favorites.

It remains difficult to fully predict the outcome of this series because the first two games gave us more questions than answers. If Thompson doesn’t catch fire in Game 3, we see the Celtics winning and covering the spread. Furthermore, the Boston trip will most likely tie the series at 2-2.
