In Sunday’s debut for their new fans, the Thunder earned their first home win and first victory since moving from Seattle. The odds of getting a second victory and a second win in their new home will be slim tonight against the defending NBA champions, the Boston Celtics.

The former SuperSonics team gave up 106.3 points per game last season, but none of Oklahoma City’s first three opponents have reached triple digits, averaging 90.7 points.

Boston rebounded from a season-low 79 points in a loss Saturday at Indiana with a season high for points in a 103-99 victory Tuesday at Houston. While the Thunder’s defense seems to be improving, the Celtics have also been excellent in the early season as they are allowing opponents to shoot only 37.8 percent.

The Celtics are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall dating back to last season.
