NBA pick today: Boston Celtics -12 over Oklahoma City Thunder (-110), 7:40 pm ET
Boston has won 6 games in a row and is 5-1 at home this season so this is not looking like' a great spot overall for the Thunder. They have also covered 4 of their last 5, so even though they are considered the favorite to win the title this year, they are still exceeding expectations.
If there is one team that is designed to shut down a team with just one wing scorer like the Thunder, it is Boston. They have 4-5 defenders they can run at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, so they can put a fresh guy on him all night without sacrificing any offense. For that reason, backing the Celtics will be the play tonight.
