The Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder will face off in the NBA regular season. The starting whistle will sound on November 21 at 00:30 UK time.
Possible line-ups for the match:
Boston Celtics:
G – Marcus Smart; G – Dennis Schroder; F – Jayson Tatum; F – Grant Williams; C – Al Horford.
Oklahoma City Thunder:
G – Josh Giddey; G – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander; F – Luguentz Dort; F – Darius Bazley; C – Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.
Boston Celtics:
There is an improvement in Boston’s game. The Celtics players seem to be beginning to understand Ime Udoka’s philosophy. With that have come victories, although not as many as they would have liked. The Celtics still lack stability, so the coaching staff has plenty of work to do.

In their last game, the Boston Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Lakers at home (130-108). Before that, the Boston Celtics lost to the Atlanta Hawks (99-110) and Cleveland Cavaliers (89-91) and also lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second meeting (98-92). All of this puts them in ninth place in the East.
Oklahoma City Thunder:
The Oklahoma City Thunder is not as hopeless as they seemed at first sight. More recently, Mark Daigneault’s men have won four straight. Those successes allowed the Thunder to move up to 11th in their conference. The Thunder have a chance of making the playoffs.
That’s the 3rd career double-double for @joshgiddey!

It should be noted that Oklahoma City Thunder continues to win against their opponents. For example, they beat the Houston Rockets recently (101-89). But it’s not easy for the Thunder to cope with stronger teams. Two days ago, Daigneault’s men lost on the road to the Milwaukee Bucks (89-96).
