Celtics vs Thunder Prediction

The Celtics are going to get the benefit at home regardless of opponent and while they may have the edge with OKC down Williams, the value is with the Thunder and the points. One, you don’t get the Thunder as an underdog. This will be just the third time this season that the Thunder is an underdog. The Thunder also have a 65.57 percent cover percentage, which is the best in the NBA. It’s just not wise to bet against the Thunder. Also, the Thunder has won three of the last four games against the Celtics, which includes a 13-point win back in January. I’ll grab the points in a game the Thunder could win outright.
