Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics take on Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors in a nationally televised game on Tuesday night, and if you’re looking to do some last-minute betting research, you’re in luck! We’ll give you the latest point spread, moneyline odds and over-under number, as well as the information you’ll need to make the smartest bet on BetMGM.
The game tips off at 10:00 p.m. ET and can be seen on TNT.
The Celtics (10-8) are hoping to snap a two-game losing streak, and have dropped their last two games by just five combined points. The Warriors have won three of their last four games, and are coming off a 27-point home win over the Pistons.
The Celtics will be without Marcus Smart, Payton Pritchard and Romeo Langford, while the Warriors will be missing rookie big man James Wiseman, Nico Mannion, Jordan Poole, Alen Smailagic and Klay Thompson.

Advice and prediction
I like the Celtics on Tuesday. The Warriors are 1-4 in their last five against 2020 Playoff teams, and all four of those losses have been by nine points or more.
Boston is better than its record would indicate, and while Smart’s absence will be felt, the Celtics still have a healthier and more talented roster.
BetMGM is also running a special Lion’s Boost player prop for Steph Curry that deserves some consideration. Curry to score 30+ points is available at +150, and while he’s only hit that mark six times this season in 20 starts, it’s a good option for a small side wager.
Prediction: Celtics 119, Warriors 110
