  • Boston Celtics are 4-5-0 ATS in their previous 9 games
  • Oklahoma City Thunder are 8-2-0 ATS in the last 10 meetings with Boston
  • The Over has cashed in 7 of the last 8 meetings

Head To Head

  • Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 79-67
  • 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.
