We have a potential NBA Finals preview with this matchup. The Thunder have a lot of padding for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, up 11 games. They are tough to beat because they are efficient on both sides of the court and rank first in overall adjusted Net Rating. They also lead the league in defensive efficiency (1.037) and effective field goal percentage (51.5%), and rank second in points allowed per game (106.9).
Offensively, the Thunder are also a top team, as they are fourth in offensive efficiency (1.155). This is largely led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP season. He leads the league with 32.7 points per game. Unlike most teams, the Thunder were able to remain dominant even with players like Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein missing time thanks to Gilgeous-Alexander.
The Celtics are close to the Thunder in terms of adjusted Net Rating (third) and they are another team that can win games with their offense or defense. They will try to slow down the pace of the game. On offense, they like to move the ball around to find the high-percentage shot, which is usually beyond the arc. They are taking by far the most three-pointers, averaging 48 threes per contest, which is five more than the next team.
That slower pace was what we saw in their last matchup as these teams combined for 197 points. As long as Boston plays their style, this game should have each team relying on their defense.
