The Golden State Warriors travel to Beantown to play the Boston Celtics at TD Garden on Saturday.

The Warriors (34-14) come into this matchup winning nine-straight games, as they appear to be playing up to their full potential. That's a scary sight for opponents, as they just got DeMarcus Cousins back from his Achilles tear. The dynamic he brings can't be overlooked, as he's arguably the most dynamic big man in the NBA. Not only can he distribute through the post, but he also provides a ton of floor spreading with his versatile play. That's a horrifying sight for opponents and it's no surprise that this club ranks first in points scored and offensive efficiency with that in their arsenal. It's just the start of the Cousins era too and it'll be fun to see what this team looks like come April and May. We shouldn't overlook the play of Stephen Curry either, as he's scored at least 28 points in nine of his last 11 games. That doesn't even consider the fact that Klay Thompson appears to be getting hot as well, as this winning streak could last quite a while with all these weapons firing at full mass.

The Celtics (30-18) have been one of the best home teams in the NBA this season, as they are 19-5 at TD Garden. What makes them so special is their defense, as they currently rank top-five in both defensive efficiency and points allowed. Some are worried about the health of this club but they expect to be at full health here. One has to wonder if this team is at its best when they're at full healthy though, as some believe that there are too many mouths to feed under those circumstances. Players like Hayward, Terry Rozier and Jaylen Brown have been relegated in these situations and they need everyone playing up to their potential if they want to be a title contender. With all that said, the Celtics come into this matchup winning five-straight games, with all of them being decided by six points or more.

The two-game season series' between these teams have been extremely even the past three years, with all three series split, 1-1.
