The stats paint a vibrant picture, with the proposition being the Thunder scoring over 101.5 points. Now, you might point to the model prediction of 90.89, suggesting otherwise.

The implied probability of the outcome also stands at a bullish 84.7%. A blend of Thunder's home court advantage, Celtics' defensive inconsistencies, and a high implied probability indicates a potential high-scoring game from the Thunder. So let's ride the storm and bet on 'Oklahoma City Thunder Over 101.5' in the Team Total Points (Alternate) market.

Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics) Under 7.5 Assists (-714)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Boston Celtics head to Oklahoma City, all eyes will be on Jaylen Brown, but the data suggests we might want to take the under on his assists at 7.5. Historically, Brown has struggled to dish out dimes when playing away, averaging just 3 assists in his last five road games. Against the Thunder, his numbers dip even further, with an average of only 2.7 assists in their past matchups. The Celtics' offensive flow often revolves around Jayson Tatum and others, which can limit Brown's opportunities to facilitate. With a remarkable hit rate of 19 straight unders on the road, it's clear he tends to fall short of that assist total away from home. Given the implied probability of 87.7%, betting the under on Brown's assists seems not just wise but almost inevitable. This matchup could well align with historical trends, making the under a compelling play.
