Celtics Offense Looks To Bounce Back After Ugly Shooting Performance Vs Mavs

After averaging nearly 120 points in their previous four games, the Celtics cooled off in Sunday’s 95-92 loss to Dallas — only Boston’s third loss in its last 19 games. The Mavericks focused their defense on shutting down Jayson Tatum, holding the Boston star to just four second-half points and causing him to miss 15 of 22 attempts from the field.

Although all five of Boston’s starters scored in double figures Sunday, Al Horford was the only one other than Tatum to score more than 15 points. Jaylen Brown managed just 14 on 6-for-16 shooting and is 37 percent from the floor over his last three games. The Celtics shot 37 percent on field goals Sunday and just 24 percent from three-point range, causing them to go UNDER the total for just the third time in their last 11.

Green’s Minutes Limited Following Return From Injury, But Still Making An Impact

Even in just 20 minutes of action off the bench, Draymond Green made his presence felt Monday in his first game since early January. Golden State’s sparkplug scored six points and added seven rebounds and six assists in his return from a back injury, and coach Steve Kerr also credited him for helping Steph Curry go off for 47 in a 126-112 win over the Wizards — Golden State’s fourth straight win following a five-game losing streak.

Curry’s huge game and Green’s return helped Golden State overcome the absence of Andrew Wiggins due to illness. Wiggins has already been ruled out again for tonight, when lack of depth could be a greater issue for the Warriors against a hot Celtics team and with Green still on a minutes restriction.

Celtics vs Warriors Pick & Insights

Celtics: Keys To Cover

Boston’s tendency to bounce back makes it a tempting option for Celtics vs Warriors predictions, with the Celtics having covered each of their last four games following a loss. They should be fully focused in the opener of a four-game road trip, and they’ve matched up well against Golden State in recent years, going 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

Warriors: Keys To Cover

Green’s return opens up the floor for Golden State’s offense, which shot 54 percent from the field and 40 percent from behind the arc in his first game back on Monday. But his presence could be felt even more at the defensive end, where the Warriors are allowing just 102.3 points per game this season at home.
