ESPN’s NBA Saturday Primetime on ABC presented by YouTube TV continues its 2018 broadcast season this Saturday night with another cross-conference matchup.
The Boston Celtics will be on the road Saturday night against the Golden State Warriors in a “Battle of the Best.” Each team leads its respective conference and has an equal chance of taking the win in Saturday’s game, going by the numbers.
Both teams will come into Saturday’s matchup well-rested, having last played Tuesday, January 23. Each won its respective game, too. The Celtics have been almost as good on the road so far this season as they have been at home, going 17 – 6 on the road so far versus going 18 – 8 at home. The team is 6 – 4 in its last 10 games, again with its most recent game ending in a win for the team.
Golden State meanwhile has proven to be slightly better on the road so far this season than at home, going 21 – 4 on the road and 17 – 6 at home. The team has gone 8 – 2 in its last 10 games, with its most recent game also resulting in a win.
Again, looking at the numbers, Saturday’s match is sure to be a hard-fought battle that will be well worth the watch by any NBA fan. Coverage is currently scheduled to start at 830 p.m. ET on ABC with Mike Breen on the call. Analysts Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson will also be on hand for additional commentary alongside officiating analyst Steve Javie and sideline reporter Israel Gutierrez.
Saturday night’s broadcast will be preceded by NBA Countdown presented by Straight Talk beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Michelle Beadle will anchor the broadcast, and will be joined by analysts Jalen Rose, Chauncey Billups and Paul Pierce for additional commentary.
