Advice and prediction
Considering how well the Thunder has played in their last three games, I have no idea how the Celtics are minus-10.5 point favorites in this one.
But then I did some quick research on the Celtics and quickly realized how elite they’ve been this season.
The Celtics have been one of the best teams in the league with a 6.5 net rating — good for third in the league. Meanwhile, the Thunder are slightly under league average in net rating at minus-0.1.
The Thunder have been a fun surprise this season, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played like an MVP candidate. However, I think the Celtics, with a returning Jaylen Brown, should cover the point spread pretty easily.
Prediction: Celtics 127, Thunder 115
