Celtics vs. Thunder NBA Player Props & Picks
Jaylen Brown Over 26.5 Points
Jayson Tatum is dominating the headlines, but Brown has been on quite a run himself of late. He’s averaging 32.6 points on 52.1% from the field over his last five contests.
Efficiency wise, the Thunder are respectable defensively. However, they operate at a fast pace and allow a high volume of shot attempts. Brown scores efficiently enough in general to reach 27 points on what should be elevated volume.
Jayson Tatum Over 12.5 Rebounds + Assists
The Celtics are 9-point favorites in a game with a healthy 233 total. Remember – check the latest odds and lines at the top NBA betting sites. On paper, the Celtics are geared to cruise to a victory.
It’s all about volume in this spot. The Thunder shoot a lot, but they don’t shoot particularly well, so rebound opportunities should be plentiful for Tatum. Offensively, the Celtics boast the game’s top unit, putting Tatum in position to chip in a nice number of dimes and clip the Over.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Under 29.5 Points
SGA is emerging as one of the game’s best players that some NBA fans still don’t know about. We’re betting the Under on him tonight, nonetheless.
Gilgeous-Alexander was held below 29 points in four of his last six. One recent development to keep tabs on is the increased shot volume from second-year guard Tre Mann. He attempted 19 shots on Dec. 29 and is averaging 13 shots over his last three. A decrease in shot volume will hurt SGA’s odds of hitting 30 points, especially considering he’s not a prolific three-point shooter.
