Boston Celtics at Oklahoma City Thunder Predictions & Picks
Boston are tipped to cover as a betting underdog at Oklahoma City.
The Thunder have been on a tear for several weeks, but they have had issues covering the number in recent games while the Celtics have been a reliable spread bet.
- Boston Celtics are 9-3-0 ATS in their last 12 games
- Boston Celtics are 7-2-0 ATS in their previous 9 road games
- Oklahoma City Thunder are 0-6-0 ATS in their last 6 games
- The Over has cashed in 8 of the previous 9 meetings
Head To Head
- Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 79-68
- Oklahoma City Thunder won 118-112 when the two teams last met in March 2025
Boston Celtics Form
Boston arrive on the back of a defeat, but having been on a good run since the end of January with 14 wins in their last 18 games.
The Celtics wrapped up January with a 112-93 win over Sacramento, and built on that in the early stages of February as they went on a five-game run that was ended by a 111-89 defeat to New York.
They rebounded immediately, backing up a 124-105 home win against Chicago with road victories at Golden State, 121-110, Los Angeles Lakers, 111-89, and Phoenix, 97-81.
Boston then answered a 103-84 home loss in Denver by beating Brooklyn 148-111, Philadelphia 114-98 and Milwaukee 108-81, only to lose 118-89 at home to Charlotte.
The Celtics again responded swiftly to a loss beating Dallas 120-100 and Cleveland 109-98, but they do enter this matchup having lost last time out, falling 125-116 in San Antonio.
Oklahoma City Thunder Form
Oklahoma City also enter this matchup on a great run of form, having won 11 of their previous 13 games and each of the last six.
The Thunder began this sequence with back-to-back victories on the road, beating the Los Angeles Lakers 119-110 and Phoenix 136-109.
They then bounced back from a 110-93 defeat to Milwaukee with a three-game win streak that saw them beat Brooklyn 105-86 and Cleveland 121-113 at home, and Toronto 116-107 on the road.
Oklahoma City were denied a fourth straight win by a 124-116 defeat in Detroit, but they hit back immediately at home with a 127-121 overtime success against Denver.
The Thunder then built on that on the road as they beat Dallas 100-87, Chicago 116-108 and New York 103-100, before returning home to down Golden State 104-97 and Denver 129-126.
Verdict
Both teams are in good form, but it is Boston who have proved to be the more reliable spread bet in recent times.
They have covered consistently in recent weeks, even when Jayson Tatum has been missing, so give us the Celtics and the free buckets.
