This past weekend was about as impressive as the OKC Thunder have looked in quite some time.

Despite this team having the youngest roster by average age (23.2 years) in the association they never sell fans short on effort. This weekend they also got the ‘W”s to go with it.

It’s the second game of a back-to-back set for the youngsters but they’ll be bringing some momentum and confidence into Bean Town following their outstanding weekend.

T.I. breaks it down.

OKC Thunder vs Celtics Odds, Spread, Over/Under

Not surprisingly, the rested 10-3 Celtics are favored to win but the point spread is a bit head-scratching given how other teams with similar talents have scored against the Bean Town crew.

Boston is favored by 11 points with an over/under total of 229.5 predicted. The moneyline has the Thunder at plus +500 and the Celts at minus -700.

  • The Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.

Thunder Starting Lineup:

Mark Daigneault returned to his two bigs starting quintet reinserting Jeremiah Robinson-Earl with POKU in New York.

Given the club is playing a back-to-back the coach might tweak the starting rotation. Boston’s strength rests with their wings – specifically the “J’s” ((Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown) and especially with Robert Williams III still out they aren’t as deep up front or with their bigs.

That could equate to Daigneault going with Aaron Wiggins or Jalen Williams)

Injury Report

Darius Bazley remains on the injury report as OUT as he recovers from the ankle injury, Tre Mann (Back) is OUT, while Ousmane Dieng (G-League Assignment) and Eugene Omoruyi (Two-way G-League) both remain OUT as well.  Chet Holmgren (foot) is out for the season.

Boston’s injury report is longer than OKC but they expect to get back some key contributors. Jaylen Brown sat the second game of the back-to-back (Pistons) after sustaining a knee contusion but it was more a matter of load management. He’s listed as probable for Monday as is Al Horford (back).

Other notables are – Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) was downgraded to out Monday, Robert Williams is still rehabbing from his knee procedure and Danilo Gallinari (ACL) is lost for the season.
