Free Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics Prediction:
Sunday, March 8th, the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Boston Celtics play for the second and final time this season. In the first meeting, the Celtics won and have beat OKC in five straight.
Both teams are fighting for playoff seeding and as such this contest is likely to produce a postseason type atmosphere.
Last season, the teams played twice with the Celtics winning both games. The Celtics hold the all-time record having bested the Thunder in 74 of their 136 matches.
Oklahoma City Thunder
The team many thought would be lottery-bound continues to impress having won seven of their last nine matches and the two losses were against NBA elites the Bucks and Clippers.

OKC’s road prowess is also among the best. Since the end of December, the team is 14-2 on the road. While teams like the 76ers and Heat struggle to win on the road the Thunder will enter the postseason with confidence knowing they can steal a win on the road.
The most recent win came in the Mecca in a clinical takedown of the Knicks. Chris Paul led the effort with 21 points and 12 assists while big man Steven Adams also collected a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds.
Danilo Gallinari led the scoring effort with 22 points and sophomore Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to impress as he posted 18 points on 6 of 10 from the field.
On the season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tops the scoring (19.3 points) and Chris Paul is the leader in assists (6.8) and steals (1.6) categories. Rebounding is lead by Steven Adams (9.4) as is field goal percentage (59.2%) and Nerlens Noel is tops for blocks (1.5).
Darius Bazley (knee bone bruise) is out until late March. Andre Roberson (knee) has yet to play this season.
Boston Celtics
Jayson Tatum is the talk of the NBA town due to his recent star-like turn. The problem is Boston is dealing with a constant turnstile of health woes particularly with their starters.
On Friday, that meant Jaylen Brown and Gordon Hayward were unable to go and it proved to be too much as the Jazz stole a win on the TD Garden court.
Although Marcus Smart began the day with lighter pockets due to the $35k fine he was levied for his altercation with a ref it didn’t affect his performance.
He led the Celtics with 29 points on a night where Tatum and Kemba Walker had difficulty dealing with Rudy Gobert. They combined for 12 of 36 from the field and 3 of 12 from deep.
Specifically, Tatum collected 18 points and seven rebounds while Walker scored 13 with seven assists.
Daniel Theis (12 points, nine rebounds) is a true x-factor for Brad Stevens.
Boston leaders are Kemba Walker for assists (5.0) Gordon Hayward for field goal percent (50.3%), and Daniel Theis for blocks (1.3). Jayson Tatum leads the other three categories including scoring (23.5), rebounding (7.1) and steals (1.4). .
Gordon Hayward (knee contusion) is doubtful for the Jazz game and Jaylen Brown (hamstring) will be out until mid-March.
NBA Betting Trends:
- OKC are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 road games.
- BOS are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall.
- Underdog is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
Free Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
The first game came down to the last play but with the Celtics potentially missing both Brown and Hayward again it should equate to another Thunder road victory.
