Two of the top teams in the NBA will meet here on Wednesday night in Boston, as both of them look to build up as much momentum as possible heading into the postseason. As Oklahoma City will face off with the Boston Celtics here in this one at TD Garden, in what should be one of the best games of the evening and potentially one of the best games of the regular season as well. This could be a potential preview of the NBA finals. If both of these teams maintain their regular season success throughout the playoffs there is no doubt they could meet for a championship, as they have easily been two of the top teams in the league this year.
Oklahoma City has been incredible this season and many people think they are ahead of schedule. As they have one of the youngest teams in the NBA and they are being led by superstars like Shai Gilgeous Alexander this season. He will keep the momentum rolling here on Wednesday night when they travel to Boston to play the top team in the East for a heavyweight showdown with the Celtics late in the regular season. Oklahoma City has been playing fantastic basketball throughout the majority of the regular season and they will look to finish the season strong with another solid performance here on Wednesday.
The Thunder come into this contest on Wednesday night with a record of 52-23 through their first 75 games of the season. Despite recording over 50 wins this season, they are sitting in third in the West, as the West has clearly been the tougher conference throughout the regular season. Which is coming as a surprise to many people as the East has been incredible over the last several years. Their 52 victories on the year would put them in second place in the East at the moment. They will look to grab their 53rd victory of the season here on Wednesday night at one of the toughest venues in the league. They have played solid basketball away from home all season long but they will have a tough task ahead of them in this game against Boston.

The Boston Celtics have been one of the best teams in the league this season, and they are currently out in front of the pack in the Eastern conference as well. This Boston team has been nearly perfect at home this season, and they will look to keep that narrative intact with another quality performance here on Wednesday night against Oklahoma City. Boston will look to build up as much momentum as possible before, heading into the postseason as they look to get back to the NBA finals and add to their league leading amount of championships. They are one of the most storied franchises in the history of the NBA, however, they haven’t lifted an NBA championship since 2008.
Which is something they will look to erase this season and if they continue to play as well as they have throughout the regular season, they should be the favorites heading into the playoffs. Boston has run away with the top spot in the conference and they have already clinched the East and they are closing in on their 60th win of the season. They are currently sitting at 59 wins on the year as they have clearly been the best team in the league this season. The Celtics will look to keep the momentum rolling with another victory against another top team in the league here in this one. As they look to avoid being knocked out of the postseason early on last year.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Boston is 32-3 at home
- Boston is 20-7 against the West
- Boston is 45-13 after a win
I expect this to be a competitive back-and-forth game between Oklahoma City and Boston here on Wednesday night at TD Garden. However, in the end I look for the Boston Celtics to continue their dominance at home this season. As I look for them to not only pick up the victory against Oklahoma City, but I also expect the Boston Celtics to cover the spread while picking up their 60th victory of the regular season. As I look for Boston to close this one out strong with a clutch performance from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown down the stretch.
