The Boston Celtics will play host to the defending NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder this Wednesday (March 25) evening at their home court of TD Garden. In that contest, the Celtics will be looking to get back in the win column after a Western Conference foe snapped their prior win streak earlier this week.
On the other end of the court, the Thunder are going to be trying to keep their NBA-leading win streak alive vs. on the road vs. Boston. The likelihood of an OKC win stands out, given the Celtics are still re-integrating star forward Jayson Tatum and the overall health of the Thunder. But a Celtics win can still be had if Boston plays their best.
