Boston Celtics vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Carlos Zabala | in NBA Picks
The game that promises the best basketball on Sunday, January 5th in the NBA will be the first scheduled game between the Thunder, 1st in the Western Conference, and the Celtics, 2nd in the Eastern Conference. In short, a highly anticipated game between the current champion and an electric Thunder team that has a spectacular streak of 14 games winning, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the figure averaging 31.2 points per game. In the betting, Thunder is a favorite by just 1.5 points to win it at the Paycom Center. This season, the Thunder at home and being the favorite in the betting has a record of 15-2, while the Celtics were only underdogs once this season outside of Boston and lost that game.
Thunder won their first two games of 2025 and also covered the spread in both. The last one was a 117-107 win against the Knicks and this will be the last game of a 5-game homestand where they already won 4 W.
The Celtics will also be looking for their 4th straight win and won their first two games in January, the last of them 109-86 over the Rockets with 23 points from White.
