Why the Thunder Will Cover (+9.0)
OKC has struggled to cover the spread lately, doing so just once in the last four games, but the Thunder has a chance to get back on track tonight with such a big spread. The Celtics have the best record in the league right now, but they have won just 5 of their last 11 outings, so if OKC can keep Jayson Tatum and/or Jaylen Brown from going off, then there’s a good chance this could be a close game.
Staff Picks
Why the Game Will NOT Hit the Over (233.5)
The Celtics have the highest-scoring offense in the league at 118.6 points per game, but that number drops to 114.0 when they’re on the road. OKC’s scoring average has slipped out of the NBA’s top 10, and with the number of injuries to the front court paired with the double teams being consistently sent Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s way, the Thunder has struggled at times to score. The only way I see a high-scoring game tonight is if it’s a blowout, and I don’t see that happening.
