Betting Celtics-Thunder: Four props that stand out - ESPN

Two of the top teams in the NBA clash Wednesday night on ESPN when the Boston Celtics (47-18, 23-11 at home) host the Oklahoma City Thunder (53-12, 24-7 on the road). Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.

The Thunder look to keep their six-game road winning streak alive without Jalen Williams (hip), who didn't make the trip to Boston and is without a timeline to return. Meanwhile, Celtics star Jayson Tatum (knee) is questionable.

ESPN BET is offering an array of prop bets for the Celtics (-2.5, 229.5) and Thunder, and here are betting experts Andre Snellings and Eric Moody with the bets they like most.

While I appreciate that the Celtics are playing well right now, in the midst of a five-game winning streak, and many expect them to be shifting into playoffs-mode to defend their title, we can't just ignore that the Thunder have been absolutely elite all season and are playing some of their best basketball of the season right now. The Thunder have the best scoring margin in the NBA, outscoring their opponents by 12.6 points per game. They have won eight of their last nine games, and have played well this season even when Jalen Williams has been off the court. Per Basketball Reference, the Thunder have out scored opponents by 18 points per 100 possessions with Williams off the court.

The Celtics have three starters on the injury report, with both Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis listed as questionable. When these teams met in January, the Thunder won by 13. I have the Thunder favored in this game, so to get them and points is strong value. — Snellings
