The Boston Celtics return home and will host the Oklahoma City Thunder at the TD Garden on Monday night. These teams faced each other twice last season and the Celtics beat the Thunder both times but didn't cover the spread in any.

The Celtics get here with a 10-3 record overall and are 5-1 at home ranking 1st in the Atlantic division. In their last game at home they beat the Detroit Pistons 117-108.

BETTING TRENDS
Oklahoma City are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against Boston.
Oklahoma City are 2-8 SU in their last 10 games against Boston.
Oklahoma City are 3-12 SU in their last 15 games on the road.
Oklahoma City are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games when playing on the road against Boston.
Boston are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Boston's last 7 games.
Boston are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Boston's last 7 games against Oklahoma City.
Prediction
The Thunder have been playing great offense since their All-Star Gilgeoux-Alexander returned with the team as they have scored over 130 points in their last 3 games but the problem is they're allowing the same amount of points. The Celtics have won 6 games in a row and are 5-1 in their 6 games at home this season. I expect a high scoring game as both offenses are on fire right now and the over has cashed in 5 of the last 7 head to head games. Take the over.
PICK: Over 228.5 (-110)
