Through 3 Quarters

The Boston Celtics are on the road but looking no worse for wear. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Golden State Warriors as Boston lead 81-69.

The Celtics have been riding high on the performance of point guard Marcus Smart, who has 20 points and eight assists in addition to four boards. Shooting guard Jordan Poole has led the way so far for Golden State, as he has shot 5-for-10 from downtown and has recorded 21 points. Poole does need to be careful, however, as he is in foul trouble with four.

The Dubs have been used to carrying a lead into the fourth quarter lately, so we'll see how they respond to the deficit.

What to Know

The Golden State Warriors will play host again and welcome the Boston Celtics to Chase Center, where tip-off is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The Warriors should still be feeling good after a victory, while Boston will be looking to get back in the win column.

The Dubs didn't have too much trouble with the Washington Wizards at home on Monday as they won 126-112. Point guard Stephen Curry had a dynamite game for Golden State; he shot 7-for-14 from downtown and finished with 47 points, six dimes and six rebounds.

Boston lost a heartbreaker to the Dallas Mavericks when they met last November, and they left with a heavy heart again on Sunday. Boston fell in a 95-92 heartbreaker. Despite the defeat, they got a solid performance out of power forward Al Horford, who had 17 points along with six boards and five steals.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Golden State is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The Dubs' win brought them up to 47-22 while the Celtics' loss pulled them down to 41-28. Two defensive stats to keep an eye on: The Dubs have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 43.80%, which places them second in the league. But Boston is even better: they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 43.20%, which places them first in the league. We'll see if that edge gives Boston a route to victory.
