The player props for the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Boston Celtics game on Wednesday will center around Jason Tatum and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, using the top NBA odds available.

On Tuesday, the Oklahoma City Thunder (52-23) narrowly lost to the Philadelphia 76ers, causing them to fall to third place in the Western Conference. The Boston Celtics (59-16) are on a hot streak, winning 11 of their last 13 games and looking strong as they approach the playoffs. The game on Wednesday will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET at TD Garden.

With seven games left in the regular season, the Celtics have secured the top spot in the Eastern Conference and are aiming for their 60th win. On the other hand, the Thunder, Timberwolves, and Nuggets are all neck and neck at the top of the Western Conference standings. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may make a comeback against the Celtics after missing three out of four games, while Jaylen Brown is at risk of sitting out two consecutive games. We have three combo props lined up for this exciting showdown between two conference heavyweights.

Thunder vs. Celtics predictions

Jayson Tatum Over 39.5 points + rebounds + assists (-110 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐

Tatum has maintained an average of 40.4 points + rebounds + assists (PRAs) for the season, surpassing this line in 35 out of 70 total games. He has exceeded this mark in eight out of 18 games since the All-Star break. However, there is a possibility that Tatum may have to play without Jaylen Brown on Wednesday due to Brown’s sprained left hand. It is possible that Boston may decide to prioritize Brown’s recovery and not rush him back into the game.

In five out of nine games when Brown was out, Tatum exceeded the Over and scored exactly 39 PRAs in two more games. His average PRA with Brown sidelined was 41.8, compared to 40.2 when Brown was playing. This suggests that Tatum performs well regardless of Brown’s presence, making the Over a favorable bet even if Brown is in the lineup. The implied probability of the -110 odds is 52.4%, reflecting Tatum’s consistent performance throughout the season and his ability to excel without Brown.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 39.5 points + rebounds + assists (-115 via bet365) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

SGA has been absent for three out of the Thunder’s last four games and is now listed as questionable for tonight’s game against Boston. He did play on Sunday, so we are hoping that his absence on Tuesday was just a precautionary measure ahead of the first game in a back-to-back set.

Gilgeous-Alexander has been averaging 42.1 PRAs this season, hitting the Over in 51 out of 71 games, which is a 71.8% success rate. Despite the -115 odds suggesting only a 53.5% chance of success, we believe in his ability to exceed this line. The Celtics are favored by nine points at home, making it crucial for SGA to perform well in order to secure a victory. Given his consistent performance in this prop bet, we are confident in taking the Over.

Derrick White Over 26.5 points + rebounds + assists (-110 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

In six of his last nine games, White has exceeded the Over and has maintained an average of 32.1 points + rebounds + assists. His average pre-All-Star break was 24.2, but has increased to 27.6 post-break. White scored 30 PRAs in his first matchup against the Thunder, and we are confident he will have another impressive performance on Wednesday.

The line at DraftKings offers standard -110 odds, implying a 52.4% probability, but White has exceeded expectations in 66.7% of his last nine games. Oklahoma City has given up the sixth-most rebounds and 13th-most assists to opponents this season. If Jaylen Brown is out, White has averaged 30.2 points+rebounds+assists compared to 24 when Brown plays, making us even more confident in taking the Over.
