We got a good look at the battle between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals this summer. Currently, the matchup is the regular season contest on March 25. Oklahoma City comes with the NBA’s best record of 57-15, while Boston is second in the Eastern Conference at 47-24.
Let’s get into my Thunder vs. Celtics.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics odds
Money line: Thunder -140 / Celtics +120
Spread: Thunder -3.5 (-105) / Celtics +3.5 (-115)
Total: Over 218.5 (-110) / Under 218.5 (-110)
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics best bet #1: Celtics +3.5 (-115)
The Celtics were already getting along without Jayson Tatum. Now Tatum is back from his Achilles injury and the C’s are much better. They are 4-1 in their last five games. One of their most recent losses was against the Thunder, but it only came by two points, played in OKC, and Tatum was out. The replay is inside TD Garden — and Tatum. It’s true that the Thunder have won 12 games in a row, but their toughest competition has been the competition this season. They beat Denver in overtime, beat that Denver team by three points a few weeks later, beat the Knicks by three, and then got their two-point win over the Celtics. Despite being in 12 games, OKC is 3-9 against the spread in those 12 contests.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics best prop bet: Jaylen Brown Over 1.5 three-pointers (-136)
Brown has made multiple threes in three of the past four games. Although he shot 1-for-4 during the previous meeting with Oklahoma City this season, this is his best matchup on the perimeter. The Thunder are surrendering the ninth-highest three-point shooting percentage among opponents in 2025-26 (36.5) and are allowing the most triples per game (14.3). They just watched the 76ers launch 46 attempts from downtown earlier this week, and 17 were completed. Brown completed nine of 21 two-point attempts against OKC in their March 12 game, so he may be inclined to drive more often on Wednesday.
