Players to Watch out for in Golden State Warriors vs Boston Celtics
- Jordan Poole – Warriors
Poole wasn’t at his best in game 1 of the series, and his team missed his valuable contribution. He needs to step and help Klay and Steph because the Celtics’ defense is pretty solid, and it will require a team effort to take them down.
- Jayson Tatum – Celtics
Tatum had a terrible outing in Game 1 of the series, as he wasn’t able to contribute much with the points. He is bound to have a bounce-back game here, and we can see him exploding for a 30-35 points game in this match.

The Warriors will be the favorites to come up with a win here and level up the series because it’s very hard to see them losing two straight games at their own home court.
