The current betting odds have the Celtics listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Celtics have looked really good in their games this season with their 47-24 record overall which has them right near the top of the East with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have looked great on their home court too with their 24-11 home record this season. Meanwhile, the Thunder have looked great in their games this season with their 57-15 record overall which has them right at the top of the West with the best record in the entire NBA. They have been a great road team too with their 28-8 road record this year. The Thunder have been rolling in their games lately and they are one of the hottest teams in the NBA at the moment. They have a ton of momentum on their side with 12 wins in a row now and they have already beaten the Celtics on this streak too. That win over the Celtics did come at home though and it was only by 2 points as the Celtics gave them a lot of trouble in that game and were even leading for a lot of it. The Celtics were supposed to have a down year with no Tatum, but they have managed to still be one of the best teams in the NBA all season and now they have Tatum back from his injury too. They are off a loss to the Timberwolves in their last one, but they will be looking to bounce back on their home court and they are still 6-4 in their last 10 games. The Celtics played a good game with the Thunder on the road not long ago and they are going to bring their best effort here to be the team to end that long winning streak. The best way to place a bet here is on the Celtics to cover the spread in this game.

“It was impressive. Isaiah Joe played here too, and those guys stayed in character. They play for the Thunder now, and we’re on our trek here. They did a great job of staying inside the team and staying in character.” - Mark Daigneault on McCain and Joe after his team’s win against the 76ers in their game on Monday. 

“When we missed layups and we weren't able to get our offensive rebounds, they took advantage of that with their speed and getting out in transition. That was a huge difference in that second quarter with their speed and their ability to create off the dribble." - Joe Mazzulla after his team’s loss against the Timberwolves in their game on Sunday.
