The Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder are set to battle it out at the TD Garden in an NBA cross-conference clash. The Celtics are in second place in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Thunder lead in the West. Here's our match prediction.
The Boston Celtics come into this match off the back of a disappointing 102-92 home defeat against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Jaylen Brown was the standout performer as he posted a game-high 29 points.
Before this result, Joe Mazzulla's side was on a four-match winning streak. This comes after bouncing back from a two-game losing run that included a narrow defeat against their opponents in this impending encounter.
Nikola Vucevic is unavailable for the hosts, having missed eight games because of a finger injury. However, that shouldn't trigger concern, considering they boast an array of top-tier talent.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are on cloud nine heading into this clash. A comfortable 123-103 away victory against the Philadelphia 76ers extended their winning streak to 12 games.
The Thunder will be hoping to extend this run by claiming another in this fixture. This season, they have had the upper hand over the Celtics, securing a 104-102 home win in their first meeting. The aim now is to make it back-to-back wins.
On foreign territory, they've won their last seven matches. In fact, they have a 10-1 record in their last 11 outings.
