Thunder vs Celtics Prediction
The Celtics have rebounded from a late collapse against the Cavaliers in the opener of this long homestand to win five straight at TD Garden. But they’ve had late swoons in nearly all of them, almost giving up large leads against Portland, the Lakers and Utah. Oklahoma City, which can stifle the bombs-away Bostonians on the perimeter better than anyone, will be able to take advantage of any late-game miscues by a slightly banged-up Celtics crew: Thunder 117, Celtics 115.

Thunder vs Celtics Best 3 NBA Player Props Today
1. Jaylen Brown Under 24.5 Points (-114)
Whenever a Thunder game comes up, it’s a good time to take an under on one of the other team’s guards/forwards. We’re looking at Brown, who is averaging 19.7 points on 37% shooting in his last three vs the Thunder. The Dorture Chamber, otherwise known as Lugentz Dort, held him to 0-for-4 in their matchup in January. Brown will find some points here and there, but he’s not an online betting lock for a big number.

Pick: Jaylen Brown Under 24.5 Points (-114)
2. Isaiah Hartenstein Over 10.5 Rebounds (+106)
The Celtics might be without Kristaps Porzingis again and Al Horford has been bothered by a toe injury. Luke Kornet is a nice player and Neemias Queta is a serviceable backup big, but it’s not the most formidable group right now and Hartenstein may take advantage. He’s gone over this number in 13 of the last 21 games.
Pick: Isaiah Hartenstein Over 10.5 Rebounds (+106)
3. Aaron Wiggins Over 13.5 Points (-132)
Jalen Williams is sidelined for this one due to a hip injury. That opens the door for Wiggins to pick up some of the slack. In four games without Williams this season, Wiggins is averaging 24.0 points, including his 41-point explosion against Sacramento last month and a 30-point effort vs Portland this month. This is a sure-fire winning basketball NBA pick.

Thunder vs Celtics Moneyline Pick
Boston is favored on its home floor, but it has had issues at TD Garden all season, the current streak notwithstanding. In fact, prior to this five-game run, the Celtics were just 22-11 on Causeway Street. Oklahoma City hasn’t lost a game with at least a day of rest since January.
Thunder vs Celtics Spread Pick
Obviously we like OKC here since we’ve already tagged the underdogs to pull off the win. The Thunder are 38-24-4 as an NBA pick against the spread, and the Celtics are just 15-19-0 ATS at home.
Thunder vs Celtics Over/Under Pick
These teams had a defensive battle in their first matchup. We see some more scoring coming in this one with a frenetic finish.
Bet on Thunder-Celtics Over 228.5
