It's the end of a five-game road trip for Oklahoma City. The defense is 22nd at defending beyond the arc (36.5%). It will be the toughest challenge of the trip, facing a Boston squad that is 24-11 at home and has six-time All-Star Jason Tatum (19.1 ppg, 8.9 rpg) back, playing his ninth game. The Celtics are 13th from 3-point range (36%) and fifth from the free-throw line (80.7%), while their defense is No. 1 in points allowed (107 per game) and second in shooting allowed (44.1%). OKC is working on one day of rest, while Boston has had two days off. Oklahoma City won 104-102 at home two weeks ago over Boston, an 8.5-point favorite, without Tatum. The Celtics have won 18 of the last 24, with the wagering value is on the home team to win the game. Play Boston on the moneyline.

Pro Picks
Oklahoma City at Boston
This is a big game and a potential preview of the NBA Finals, with Boston listed as a small home favorite. Oklahoma City leads the Western Conference with a 53-12 record, but the Thunder are coming in off a loss. The Celtics are 47-18 and it looks like they will be the #2 seed for the upcoming NBA playoffs. Boston lost the only previous meeting this year, 105-92 in Oklahoma City. I mention that because of the score. That game was played out like a playoff game, with both teams dominating the floor on the defensive end. I think this is another game with both teams wanting to make a statement. Boston has won five in a row and has been resting its starters quite a bit. They should have fresh legs and be ready to defend on home court. I like the Thunder/Celtics UNDER.
