Boston Celtics vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Devesh Jaganath | in NBA Prediction
The Boston Celtics will play host to the Oklahoma Thunder at the TD Garden in the NBA on Wednesday night. The hosts are 59-16 and lead the Eastern Conference, while the visitors are 52-23 and third in the Western Conference.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been performing well lately, securing victories in seven of their last ten games. However, they’re now aiming to rebound after their two-game winning streak was halted by a 109-105 road loss to the 76ers. Chet Holmgren led the team with an impressive 22 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks, while Andrew Wiggins and Luguentz Dort contributed 15 points each. Despite the setback, OKC has already secured their playoff berth, joining Denver and Minnesota in the postseason. The Thunder's notable strength this season lies in their potent offense, averaging 120.2 points per game, ranking them third in the league. However, defensively, there is room for improvement as they allow an average of 113.0 points per contest, placing them 12th overall in the league. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who missed the last match due to injury, is unlikely to feature in the upcoming game as well.
The Boston Celtics have maintained outstanding performance throughout the season and have secured victories in 11 of their last 13 games overall. They will now aim to extend their winning streak to three games after convincingly defeating the Hornets with a score of 118-104 on the road on Monday. Jayson Tatum led the team with 25 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists, while Sam Hauser contributed an impressive 25 points coming off the bench. Currently, Boston leads the Bucks by 12 games and stands as the sole team in the Eastern Conference to have already secured a playoff spot. The Celtics have exhibited strength on both ends of the court this season. They rank second in the league in scoring offense, averaging 120.9 points per game, and fifth in the NBA in points allowed per game, conceding only 109.4 points per outing. However, there are doubts surrounding the availability of Jaylen Brown, Jaden Springer, and JD Davison for this upcoming match.
