Expert picks & predictions for Wednesday’s Thunder vs. Celtics game
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) leans the Celtics to take care of business in Boston:
“These teams splitting in the regular season seems likely, especially with the Thunder winning at home in the January meeting. Boston has won five straight and hosts Oklahoma City in a tough spot off a loss to Denver in the final leg of a three-game homestand. This is the first leg of three straight road games against the Celtics, Pistons, and Bucks, so I like this spot for Boston more than Oklahoma City. It’s Boston ML or pass.”
