It’s the second and final between the OKC Thunder and Boston Celtics. The Thunder took the initial contest 127-123.

Season Series
Last season the clubs split the regular season series winning one game each. Boston holds the all-time record between the squads with 78 victories in 144 matches.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Tuesday, April 2nd. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, April 3rd.
OKC Thunder
I noted in a recent preview that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander looked fatigued or that something was off and sure enough he was dealing with a quad contusion.
Ironically as he missed three games out of the last four to address the injury it only served to bolster his MVP candidacy. OKC went 1-2 without him and in the one game he played it was his clutch time shot that sealed the victory.
Thunder Stats
The Thunder just keep improving as the season progresses ranking fourth on offense (118.7), and fifth on defense (111.5) while they offer a plus +7.3 net differential registering second overall.
In terms of the Thunder’s performance against the spread, they are one of the better bets this season with a 42-31-1 record.
Thunder Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jalen Williams, SG (OUT Tuesday/questionable Wednesday—ankle)
- Shai Gilgeous-Alexnder, PG (OUT Tuesday/questionable Wednesday—quad)
Boston Celtics
Although the Celtics won their last two matches (Pelicans/Hornets) they come off a week where they lost consecutive games versus the undermanned Hawks including a game they led by 30 points.
That re-opened thoughts on whether the Bean Town crew will excel in the postseason when more games are likely to come down to clutch time.
On the season the Celts’ clutch time win/loss ranks tied for 10th but concerningly teams they are likely to meet this postseason rank ahead of them like the Bucks (3rd), Heat/Magic (7th), and if they reach the finals the Nuggets (1st) or Thunder (tied 4th).
Celtics Stats
Boston ranks first overall offensively (122.3) and are third defensively (110.7) while registering a net differential of plus +11.7 which ranks first overall.
In terms of the Celtics’ performance against the spread, they offer a 39-33-3 record through 75 matches.
Celtics Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jaylen Brown, SF (questionable — hand)
- JD Davison, PG (upgraded to probable —ankle)
- Jaden Springer, SG (questionable — knee)

Free OKC Thunder vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
This could be a preview of the NBA Finals, however, it won’t offer a true read since the Thunder played Tuesday and might be missing SGA and JDub due to injuries.
With the rest advantage and the potential for OKC’s top two players being out Boston has the decided edge.
That said, the Thunder are 7-5 in second games of back-to-back sets and this has trap game written all over it, but the unknown of OKC’s lineup has me taking the points but Boston to win.
