The two powerhouses of the NBA, Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder face each other in a highly anticipated clash tonight. The Beantown are having a great season and are on top of their table, boasting 26 wins and just 6 losses. On the other hand, the 405 have a formidable squad and are fighting to secure the top position. If they manage to defeat the Boston Celtics tonight, they will dethrone the Minnesota Timberwolves and climb up the Western Conference table. However, with the star-studded squad of the 17x NBA champions, this is going to be a hard task for the OKC.
Jayson Tatum is one of the driving forces in the success of the Celtics this season. He has been averaging 26.9 points per game demonstrating his attacking dominance in the game. His presence against the Thunders will furthermore tip the scales in favor of the Celtics as he can guide his team and help them attain glory. So, according to the injury report, the Celtics have a clean sheet and are determined to keep their winning streak going as currently they are holding a record of 11 wins and just 1 loss in their last 12 games.
In the upcoming action-packed matchup between OKC and Celtics, all eyes are going to be on these two superstars and how they are able to guide their team glory, Jayson Tatum and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Tatum’s all-around skill is on show, as he averages 27 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game. While he helps on defense with steals, his shot-blocking ability is low. But as the Cute Rabbit can outscore his opponents by a double-digit margin and is flexible, it makes him a deadly force for the Celtics.
However, on the other hand, the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been a revelation for his team. The Glide has averaged over 31 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game and leads the league in steals showing off his ability to disrupt opponents’ plays. While the Thunder lost the rebounding battle, Gilgeous-Alexander’s talent compensated for the team’s flaws.
