Boston Celtics vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
I love this sportsbook for SGP’s. This one feels really good, so we’re going higher than a unit. SGA is the main leg that should be tougher, but I still love his spot today. Tatum is more of a juice reducer, and he should be matchup proof as a top-10 player in the NBA.
SGA has 30+ points in 22 of 30 games, and gets a Boston team allowing the third-most points to point guards. Point guards against Boston has been a wagon all year, and they now get one of the best scorers at the position. Oklahoma City is at home and Boston is much worse on the road, so hopefully this one remains close.
Tatum as a juice reducer feels safe. The game has a close spread, and Boston should rely on their leader to score in what should be a competitive game. Tatum has 20+ points in 27 of 30 games, which is good for a 90% hit rate. Oklahoma City does defend forwards very well, but Tatum is a tier where I think he’s going to eat regardless of who’s in front of him. Let's roll!
