Boston Celtics will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in a blockbuster matchup. Scheduled for March 12, 2025, the crowd at TD Garden, Massachusetts will be expecting to witness the home team continue their dream run. In one of the biggest matchups of the season, the Celtics managed to take down a rampaging Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers came in with 7 wins on the trot. But the Celtics displayed a fantastic overall performance to get the better of Luka Doncic and co. However, Oklahoma City Thunder has had monumental success this season. Leading the leaderboard in the West, the game is expected to be a banger.
Boston Celtics vs. Oklahoma City Thunder: Prediction
Oklahoma City Thunder is looking a notch above the rest as they have been on a carnage this season. With 53 wins and 12 losses, the Thunder will feel confident going into the game. One of their key strengths will surely be Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. With an insane average of 32.7 points per game, Gilgeous-Alexander is leading the scoring charts this season in the NBA. Unfortunately, the OKC Thunder have suffered somewhat of a setback recently. Going up against the Denver Nuggets, the Thunder went down 127-140. Thus, they will be looking to bounce back immediately.
On the contrary, the Boston Celtics will also be looking to Jayson Tatum’s heroics to get over the line. With an average of 27.2 points per game, Tatum is currently fourth on the NBA scoring leaderboard. Riding on the back of a 5-game unbeaten streak, Tatum and co. will surely want to keep their winning streak intact.
