The Celtics, second in the Eastern Conference, are looking to avoid a season sweep after losing their last matchup 105-92 to the Thunder. Meanwhile, the Thunder, leading the Western Conference, are a juggernaut with a young core led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Both teams are in excellent form, with the Celtics boasting a 5-5 record in their last 10 games and the Thunder going 8-2 over the same stretch.

Pick: Boston Celtics -4.5

The Boston Celtics are favored by 4.5 points in this matchup, and for good reason. Despite their recent loss to the Thunder, the Celtics have been strong at home and are looking to bounce back. With Kristaps Porziņģis expected to return and Jayson Tatum leading the charge, Boston's depth and experience could prove decisive. Additionally, the Thunder's road dominance will be tested against a Celtics team that thrives in high-stakes games. The spread of -4.5 offers value for Boston to cover.
