The matchup against the Golden State Warriors is a favorable one for 3-pointers; the other team's starting PGs have posted the 6th-highest three rate in the NBA this year (38.4%).The Boston Celtics will likely see an increase in plays in this contest from being pitted against the 4th-most up-tempo pace-of-play home team in the NBA over the last 5 games (the Warriors).The Celtics rank as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the NBA over the last 20 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore create added opportunities for scoring and assists).Over the last 5 games, the opposing team's starting PGs have attempted 7.2 free throws per game (2nd-highest in the league) against the Warriors, making it fairly effortless to get to the foul line.
