Two very intriguing trends are in play Monday night for Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors.

It's been multiple months since Boston lost two games in a row, and have yet to suffer two straight defeats since the start of the playoffs. They've gone 7-0 both straight up, as well as against the spread.

Meanwhile, the Warriors have lost just once in their home arena this NBA Finals, and oddsmakers like them to make it a 3-2 series lead tonight.

After staying tight at 3.5-points for the last few days, Golden State is now a 4-point favorite over the Celtics at WynnBET Sportsbook, and -175 to win straight up. Boston is now +145 to win as a road underdog with the total hovering around 211.

Game time is set for 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. local time in the Bay Area for a pivotal Game 5. To help you sort out all your betting options, we've put together all of our stories, research and notes all below to make sure you've got everything you need before locking in your bets!
