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.
