Both teams sitting in the 3rd seed in their respective conferences go at it as the Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics get set for battle on Wednesday night.
While both teams won’t jump up to the 2nd spot, they’ll need to fend off the calvary behind them.
Oklahoma City Thunder
Oklahoma City holds just a 2.0 game lead over the Clippers, who continue to keep the pressure on the Thunder to win.
Why is this 3 seed so important? The 3rd seed will get the Spurs in the conference semis while the 4 seed will get the honor of playing Steph Curry and the Warriors. Yes, both are daunting tasks, but giving the Warriors another chance to get upset before you have to play them is a huge advantage.

The Thunder will certainly be tested as they hit the road for a 3 game road swing and will finish the season playing 10 of their final 15 on the road.
This season, OKC has gone 18-13 SU away from Oklahoma. However, backers haven’t been pleased with their performances as they have gone 11-20 ATS. The defensive struggles have been the biggest factor for them as they allow nearly 107 points per road contest.
Boston Celtics
Boston has been one of the major surprises this season in the NBA.
They currently sit in 3rd place, but have the Heat right on their heels tied with an identical record. Boston does come in off a loss to Indiana as they fell 103-98 last time out. Isaiah Thomas scored 21 points, but like his teammates, his field goal percentage was horrendous.

The Celtics have struggled though against the Thunder. They have dropped 5 of 7 overall and 2 straight.
