OKC knocked off another top team in the Eastern Conference, the Toronto Raptors, by a score of 132-125 on Sunday. The Thunder occupy the fourth spot in the Western Conference and had all five starters score in double figures in Sunday’s win over the Raps. Reigning MVP Russell Westbrook notched his fifth straight triple-double in the game with 37 points, 14 assists and 13 boards while scoring 17 of the team’s final 19 points.
The Celtics, who suffered a 108-89 loss to New Orleans on Sunday, have dropped three of four heading into this one. With the playoffs on the horizon, the team isn’t taking any chances with star point guard Kyrie Irving, who has been ruled out of tonight’s game with a sore left knee. Jaylen Brown will also remain sidelined due to a concussion. The Celtics have averaged a measly 90.5 points in the last two games without Brown and Irving and shot 40.2 percent from the floor vs the Pels.
