What you need to know about the Thunder

Oklahoma City opened the month of March with an impressive road win at Denver, but it has lost nine consecutive games since then. The Thunder are coming off a 90-85 loss at Orlando on Sunday. They were without leading scorer Shai Gilgeous-Alexander due to ankle soreness—he is listed as questionable for Monday's game.

Second-leading scorer Luguentz Dort is out for the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury, while third-leading scorer Josh Giddey is out indefinitely with a hip issue. Power forward Darius Bazley has scored at least 15 points in five straight games. The Thunder have covered the spread in four of their last five losses.  

What you need to know about the Celtics

Boston extended its winning streak to three games with a 124-104 victory at Denver on Sunday. The Celtics are wrapping up a four-game road trip that began with wins over the Warriors and Kings. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown scored 30 points each in Sunday's win over the Nuggets, becoming the second teammates in Celtics history to score at least 30 points in consecutive games.

Payton Pritchard has knocked down all nine of his 3-point attempts over the last two games, becoming the fourth player in NBA history to make at least four 3-pointers without a miss in back-to-back games. The Celtics have won 11 of their last 12 road games, pulling within a half-game of the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference standings. They have covered the spread at a 6-2-1 clip in their last nine games.
