Klay Thompson is a little gimpy with a bad foot and the Celtics matchup up well with quick guards and a balanced attack. Its also been a long road trip for the Warriors.

I believe Boston is playing very good basketball right now, and they have the "toughness" to make things somewhat difficult for Golden State.

Boston is now 13-9 on the season after their impressive win over the Bulls two nights ago. They are playing good defense, hitting their free throws, and shooting a better percentage with each game.

It should be close in the end, and that's enough for Boston to cover this 6.5 + pt number on Friday night.
