Oklahoma City Thunder at Boston Celtics Predictions & Tips

Oklahoma City are tipped to cover as a slight underdog in Boston.

The Thunder have been the most reliable spread bet in the NBA this season and they boast a strong recent win-loss record when taking on the Celtics.

Boston Celtics have failed to cover in 5 of their previous 9 games
Oklahoma City have covered in 8 of the last 10 meetings with Boston
The Over has cashed in 7 of the last 8 meetings

Head To Head

Oklahoma City Thunder won 105-92 when the two teams last met on January 5

Oklahoma City Thunder Form

Oklahoma City head to Boston on the back of a loss, but in good form with seven wins in their previous eight games.

The Thunder rebounded from a 131-128 overtime defeat to Minnesota by heading out on the road to win three straight.

They won 129-121 in Brooklyn, 135-119 in Atlanta and 146-132 in San Antonio, before returning home briefly to down Houston, 137-128.

Oklahoma City then won 120-103 at Memphis, and took their streak to seven games with home wins over Portland, 107-89, and Denver, 127-103.

The Thunder failed to make it eight-in-a-row though, as they lost the second meeting in that double-header with the Nuggets, 140-127.

Boston Celtics Form

Boston enter this matchup in good form too, having won 11 of their last 13 games and each of the previous five.

The Celtics responded to a defeat to Dallas by embarking on a six-game win streak that was finally ended by a 117-97 loss in Detroit.

They then returned home for a 123-116 defeat to Cleveland, but they have not tasted defeat since February 28.

Boston got back to winning ways with a 110-103 victory over Denver, and backed it up with a 128-118 success against Portland.

The Celtics then downed Philadelphia, 123-105, and the Los Angeles Lakers, 111-101, before taking their tear to five games with a 114-108 win over Utah.

Verdict

OKC Thunder @ BOS Celtics

Oklahoma City have been underdogs on just two occasions this season, so this is a rare opportunity to back them with points.

No team has covered more times than the Thunder this season, and they have won three of the last four meetings with Boston, so those free buckets are too good to turn down.
