The Thunder is riding a four-game winning streak. In addition, the team has only lost three of the last 14 games. Their overall record is 22-9, which puts them in second place in the Western Conference, behind Minnesota. In the first game of the new year, Oklahoma hosted Brooklyn and dealt with them as confidently as possible - 124-108. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was traditionally the most productive player for the Thunder with 24 points. Josh Giddey also had a good game with 20 points.

The Celtics played their first game of 2024 on the road. The opponent was the misfortunate San Antonio, which Boston defeated 134-101. Jayson Tatum returned to the lineup and scored 25 points. Jaylen Brown had 24 points, Derrick White - 17, Kristaps Porzingis - 14 + 9 rebounds. Boston keeps leading the Eastern Conference. The record is 26-6.

In addition to leading the Eastern Conference, Boston also leads the league in three-pointers and rebounds charts. Those are the stats we're going to look at here. Oklahoma is also good from long range, and both teams are near the bottom of their respective defensive rankings. We'll take the Celts to win on the rebounding side, as the teams are too evenly matched in this category.
