    Off the Mat in Beantown

    After a horrible start in which they burned their backers severely with big losses on NBA picks, the Celtics have recovered nicely to climb over .500 and get back into the NBA playoff race. The Celtics recovery has been led by the top ranked defense in the league while the offense continues to struggle with a ranking of 26th in the league.

    Thunder Loud and Proud

    Oklahoma City has proven to be a great NBA town from the very start since the franchise moved from Seattle as the fans have embraced their first big league team with pride and enthusiasm. It doesn’t hurt ticket sales to have one of the most exciting superstars in the game with Kevin Durant and an offense that is explosive and ranking 3rd overall in the league. Oklahoma City is one of the great stories in the NBA and gaining respect with the gaming community as a franchise to take seriously.

    Trends

    Oklahoma City has gotten the money in 3 of their last 4 games against Boston with 3 of those 4 games also going under the total. This has been a road oriented series however as Boston has paid out in their last 3 trips to OKC with 2 of the 3 games going under the total.

    NBA Prediction

    There are conflicting numbers on the side but the total looks like a solid under as Boston is a strong defensive team that will have to keep the pace slow against the youthful and explosive Thunder. We’ll go with the trends and take the under.
