In the current NBA playoff bracket, the Celtics comfortably hold the No. 1 seed in the East, eight games ahead of Cleveland and Milwaukee. The Warriors have moved up to ninth in the West, but are still 2.5 games out of the top six.

Warriors rout raptors to stay perfect on road trip

Golden State went 3-for-3 on its current road trip Friday, beating the Raptors 120-105 in Toronto. Steph Curry (27.5 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 5.0 APG) had a team-high 25 points plus six rebounds and six assists, while star Jonathan Kuminga added 24 points and six rebounds. Draymond Green was huge defensively, grabbing 13 rebounds with two blocks and a steal as the Dubs finished with a 56-47 advantage on the glass.

Another strong defensive performance from Golden State moved the team to 17th in the D rankings this season (115.3). The Warriors were in the mid-20s in late January, when they were also five games under .500. Their O rating (117.3) is good enough for ninth in the league. Third-year pro Kuminga (15.7 PPG, 4.8 RPG) has played a big role in keeping the offense efficient, especially of late. The Congolese forward has scored more than 20 points in three consecutive games.

Andrew Wiggins remains absent from today NBA Lineups for personal reasons. Curry is listed as doubtful for knee bursitis. He has played at least 30 minutes in each of Golden State’s last six games.

The Celtics keep rolling

Since losing a 114-105 decision at home to the Laker on Feb. 1 — a game in which neither LeBron James nor Anthony Davis participated — the Celtics have taken their frustrations out on the rest of the league. Since then, Boston has won ten straight, the most recent crushing the Mavericks 138-110 at home on Friday. The C’s dominated almost every facet of the game, including three-point shooting. Boston went 21 of 43 (48.4%) while holding Dallas to just 26.5% (9 of 34).

Jayson Tatum (27.1 PPG, 8.5 RPG, 4.8 APG) scored a team-high 32 points in the win, the first time in the last six games he reached the 30-point plateau .

Boston recently passed Indiana for the league’s best offensive rating (121.5), which is on pace to become the best O-rating in NBA history. Boston’s defense, of course, is almost as good as its offense. The team sits third in Ranking D with 110.6 and is the only team in the top three in both categories.

This will be the second and final regular season meeting between the teams this year. Boston earned a thrilling 132-126 overtime victory in the Bay Area on Dec. 19, getting 30 points from Derrick White and overcoming 20 three-pointers from the Warriors.

The Celtics are mostly healthy heading into Sunday’s game. Center Kristaps Porzingis is listed as questionable with a quad contusion.

Warriors vs Celtics Prediction

With an impeccable 28-3 record at home this season, I’m not willing to bet on a straight victory for Golden State, as convinced as I am that Steve Kerr’s team has reached a real milestone. I expect this game to be close though, and 10.5 is a massive gap. The Warriors have covered 11 of their last 13 games and have the third-best ATS record in the league this year (33-25-1).
