Thunder vs Celtics odds have the Celtics at -8.5, which is a sizable line against one of the best Western Conference teams.
However, the Celtics are the testing material in the NBA.
Thunder vs Celtics 
Date, time:
Thunder Proving Themselves
The Thunder keep stepping up to the plate, and it’s good to see this young team showing up.
They are at the top of the NBA standings for the Western Conference, and with the likes of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, it’s not hard to see why.
Despite losing to the Rockets and Bucks last week, they got back to winning form against the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks.
There are some concerns with the availability of Gilgeous-Alexander, which would be a huge loss. He didn’t play against the 76ers, but the Thunder vs Celtics odds will be telling on game day.
As it stands, he’s expected to play, and he’s instrumental in their success. He averages 30.3 points per game, which is one of the best scoring averages in the NBA.
It could pay to look at the NBA injury report, and if he is playing, the line could move in favor of the Thunder.
Boasting a 43-32 ATS record, the Thunder have kept bettors happy. They are one of the better bets on a consistent basis, and they won 127-123 in the only meeting against the Celtics last January.
Celtics Loving TD Garden
The Celtics are 32-3 at TD Garden, which is a mouthwatering record.
They are all but a sure bet at home, and they are a respectable 20-15 ATS. After a long road trip, where they recorded wins over the Bulls, Pelicans, and Hornets, they will love being back home.
Of all the NBA games today, this is the one we’re most excited about. It’s not often the Celtics trail in a regular season series, but the Thunder got the better of them on the road in January.
“I thought it was two great teams,” Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said. “The game went about how I thought it would go as far as it coming down to the last couple of possessions.”
However, playing at home is a huge advantage, and that’s reflected by the -8.5 line with Thunder vs Celtics odds.
There is betting confidence with the Celtics, who are 39-33-3 ATS overall and 6-4 ATS over their last 10 games.
Jayson Tatum has been excellent with 27.2 PPG, and if he’s anywhere near his best, he could lead the Celtics to cover the spread.
Follow Betting Trends
The betting trends have the Celtics covering the spread, so we’re backing the safer bet at home.
This is a revenge situation for the Celtics, who are better than what they showed on the road earlier this year.
Their recent form has been good enough to recommend, and although they lost consecutive road games to the Hawks, we like the way they rebounded when beating Phoenix and Charlotte.
We’re also locking in the over 227.5. There were 250 points scored in the first meeting, and although it’s unlikely to hit that mark, bettors have plenty of points to work with.
The Thunder and Celtics have plenty of points in them, so it could be an exciting high scoring contest on Wednesday.
