The Boston Celtics have looked too confident in recent games. The Indiana Pacers are unlikely to be able to resist such an opponent.
Ime Udoka’s men are doing well on defence. The Boston Celtics didn’t allow Miami and Toronto to score more than 106 points in regulation time.
Marcus Smart is averaging 12 points in the games against the Pacers.

After several important victories, the Boston Celtics suffered two defeats. First, Ime Udoka’s team fell short against the Toronto Raptors (112-115). In the next game, the Celtics lost to the Miami Heat (98-106).
That had no impact on the Celtics’ position in the standings. The Boston Celtics remain in third place in the East. They’ve almost secured a direct trip to the first round of the playoffs. However, Ime Udoka’s team will try to finish second. If they succeed, they will continue in the second round.
In the game against the Heat, Jaylen Brown scored 28 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

The Indiana Pacers’ squad problems have been added to all their troubles. As you know, there are a lot of players in the infirmary. First of all, we can note the absence of Myles Turner, Ricky Rubio, T.J. Warren and T.J. McConnell. Of course, their absence affects the Pacers’ game. That’s probably why Rick Carlisle’s team is losing a lot.
The Indiana Pacers’ losing streak now stands at five games. In their most recent games, the Pacers lost to the Atlanta Hawks(123-132) and Denver Nuggets (118-125).
In the game against Nuggets, Buddy Hield scored 20 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
Safe Bets
- The Celtics are averaging 46.2 rebounds per game;
- The Pacers are averaging 25.1 assists per game.
