Our experts are split as Game 4 could go either way
This might as well be an elimination game for the Warriors, who are not going to become the second team in NBA history recover from a 3-1 Finals deficit to win the title. In that way, Golden State feels like the smart bet. It's the more desperate team.
That said, the Boston Celtics increasingly look like the clearly superior team. They don't have to compromise either end of the court with their lineups, while Golden State has to choose offense or defense. The Celtics have more creators, a better defense and they're much bigger and more athletic.
Boston hasn't been great at home throughout the playoffs, but Stephen Curry, who is shooting 49 percent on 12 3s per game through the first three games of this series, represents the ultimate puncher's chance.
