In Boston, the NBA Finals series shifts to TD Garden for Games 3 and 4 (currently tied at 1-1). Three days ago, the Warriors easily prevailed over their opponents (107-88).

Stephen Curry was a key factor for his team (29 points, 6 rebounds), while Jordan Poole added 17. Steve Kerr’s guys performed well defensively, especially in the third quarter (score 35-14).

For their part, the Celtics could not pick up where they left off in Game 1. They have to win both games at their home court to boost their chances for the NBA championship celebration.

Jayson Tatum was the only player with significant contribution for Boston in Game 2 (28 points, 6/9 from beyond the arc, 6 boards).

I think that tonight’s game could determine a lot for the whole NBA Finals series. Furthermore, this match will be pretty hard to pick a winner.

Boston has lost four of its last seven games at TD Garden. It is also remarkable that Golden State has at least one road win in its last 26 playoff series.

Therefore, my first betting prediction is that the Warriors will protect the +4.5 handicap, even if they lose (odds at 1.75).

In addition, I predict that Jayson Tatum will record more than 44 points, rebounds and assists in total (odds at 2.70). My fun bet for Game 3 of the NBA Finals will be Stephen Curry and Jayson Tatum to score more than 30 points respectively (odds at 5.00).

Heading into the most crucial games of the whole season, star players like these two have to put up some great performances each game.

Safe Bet:  

GSW +4.5 (1.75) 

Value Bet

Jayson Tatum over 44.5 points, rebounds and assists (2.70) 

Fun Bet

Stephen Curry and Jayson Tatum over 30.5 points (5.00)
