FRIDAY 11/19 Boston Celtics VS Oklahoma City Thunder

CELTICS
A huge game for both teams, the Celtics come into this game 5-6. A very dissapointing beginning for a great celtic team. Although, their struggles seem to be contagious in the east. They still lead their division, and are in 4th place in the conference. Their latest power ranking is 21.

Ray Allen leads this team in scoring with 17.4 points per game. Rajon Rondo leads the team with 10.3 assists per game. Kevin Garnett leads the team with 10 rebounds per game.

THUNDER
The Thunder also have not gotten off to as good as a start as they hoped for only being a game over 500. They are 6-5 and ranked second in the northwest division. They are tied for 7th in the conference. They are coming off a 77-113 loss to the Houston Rockets. Hopefully looking to find their offense and defense in the upcoming Boston game.

Kevin Durant leads this team in scoring with 28.8 points per game. R. Westbrook leads the team in assists with 5.7 per game. Kevin durant suprisingly leading the Thunder in rebounds with 9.1 per game.

PREDICTIONS

The Celtics need this game and will come out with great intensity on the defensive end. Look for Paul Pierce to accept the scoring faceoff against Kevin Durant. Celtics should win this one.
