We are in for a pulsating encounter when Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics face off against each other in NBA 2019-20 today. These two sides are in rampant touch, torching their way up their respective conferences with their luscious displays setting the league alight.
On a six game winning spree at the moment, Boston Celtics have climbed up all the way into third spot in the Eastern Conference. They have capitalised on their competitors’ peril, making massive series when the sides around them have faltered to all but make third place their own in the conference.
Where they have been in electric touch, their opponents come into the contest in reminiscent ruthless form. Oklahoma defeat Detroit Pistons 108-101 the last time around, a win which was their fourth in a row to go into 6th spot in the Western Conference. And with Houston Rockets floundering at the moment, a win for Oklahoma today will see them move into 5th, a narrative which will bolster them when they step out onto the court for this one.
Probable Winner
The finest of margins are going to be embedded today to determine which side comes out on top from this forthcoming affair. Determining a winner was a real qualm for us given the closely contested nature of this tie but Boston Celtics hold the slightest of edge in this one given their ability to drop points at crucial junctures.

Dream 11 Picks
OKC Vs BOS Dream11 Point Guard
Dennis Schroder from Oklahoma City Thunder was an instant pick for us for this forthcoming encounter. He’s been pivotal to his side’s attacking soirees this season, a player who has ensured the ball has been transitioned from defence to attack astutely to make him a must have pick for this fixture.
OKC Vs BOS Dream11 Shooting Guard
With the 19.5 points per game, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander becomes the first player to be ingrained in our Dream 11 side for this fixture. He’s leading the scoring ranks in Oklahoma’s side, a player who has seen his tranquil scrimmages on the court transcend into consummate success for his side.
Elsewhere, we are reposing faith in a duo from Boston Celtics with both Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown coming into our setup. The two have intertwined their expansive skill set to move in tandem and dole out imperious displays, ones which have seen them send down a slew of triples.
OKC Vs BOS Dream11 Small Forward
Boston’s top scoring player with the 22.1 points per game, Jayson Tatum will be the first player to be indulged in by us in this docket. The shooting guard has not only lunged onto the second chance points but has pulled off a hoard of free throws as well, traits which along with his high conversion rate when shooting triples makes him an immediate selection.
He’s going to be paired alongside Semi Ojeleye, someone who has made the most of the elevated role he’s earned this season with his enterprising performances.
OKC Vs BOS Dream11 Power Forward
We continue peeling off the picks from Boston with Grant Williamson coming in for us. He’ll be playing only as a substitute today but he makes for sublime value owing to his persistent ability to pull off defections, screen assists and rebounds for his side.
OKC Vs BOS Dream11 Centre
After a hiatus, Oklahoma finds representation once again with Nerlens Noels being snared as the concluding player for this fixture. The centre has an innate ability to leave attacking plays miffed given his ability to not only pull off blocks and steals but screen and guard players as well.

Tatum will be our side’s star player for this one.
