Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown (hip) will miss Wednesday’s home date with the Warriors. Brown is averaging 25.7 points, and 7.2 rebounds per game in 36.0 minutes per contest this year. Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard will both likely see upticks in minutes with Brown out of the lineup on Wednesday.

Warriors vs. Celtics NBA Prediction:
This is a good spot for Golden State. They get to face Boston without Jaylen Brown on Wednesday. Brown is the Celtics’ second-leading scorer with 25.7 points per game this season. He’s also a good wing defender. Boston will likely feel his absence in this contest.
The Warriors have several numbers on their side heading into this 2022 NBA Finals rematch. Golden State is 30-20-1 ATS after a win and a league-best 31-15 ATS as the road team since the start of last season. What’s more, the Warriors are 41-31 ATS in non-division games and 13-8 ATS as a road underdog since the beginning of last season. I think Golden State keeps it competitive throughout. I’m taking the Warriors and the points on the road in Boston on Wednesday night.
