T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors.

I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Sunday. The Warriors are down 1-0 in this series after losing their 1st home game of this postseason. I still think they looked really good for a majority of that game though, and they were dominating the Celtics up to the 4th quarter. They had a 12 point lead going in and came out with a 12 point loss but other than that 1 bad quarter where they blew the game and let it get away from them, I still think they looked great and were the better team. I expect them to bounce back with a much better effort in this game and I expect to see them even up the series at 1 here. The Celtics did look really good in that game too but Tatum didn't have a good game at all, missing a lot of his shots but I also think the Warriors gave a good defensive effort to shut him down in that game and I expect to see the same thing here tonight. I can't see the Warriors going down 2-0 on their own court here and having to go back to Boston in a huge hole. Some of the Warriors players have even came out and said that they weren't fully focused in that game but I expect their focus to be on this game and I don't see the Warriors leaving this game without a win. The Warriors have been dominant this whole postseason losing their only home game in the previous game but the Warriors didn't play in a single 7 game series this postseason either, unlike the Celtics who have to play 7 games in their previous 2 series. I think that fatigue is going to catch up to them and I'm not going to count the Warriors out here after 1 bad quarter on their own court. This is a bounce back game for the Warriors here, I like the Warriors to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 116-106 Warriors.
