Betting on the Indiana Pacers
- Season Record: 32-40
The Indiana Pacers’ season has had many ups and downs. However, despite a negative record, they still have a chance to clinch a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, since they are only 2.5 units out of the playoffs, but they know they can’t afford to falter in the games that lie ahead.
Starting the week with three losses in a row hasn’t helped the Pacers’ hopes of advancing to the next round either, even more so considering they still have to deal with the sensitive loss of Tyrese Haliburton.
Haliburton has been the Pacers’ offensive leader this season, averaging 20.8 points and 10.4 assists per game. Now, Miles Turner and Buddy Hield, who average 18.0 and 17.1 points scored per game, respectively, have to try to emulate Haliburton’s numbers.
Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Season Record: 50-23
Although their performance has not been as fantastic as in the first few months, the Boston Celtics are still in the midst of a great season. In fact, they are already securing their place in the playoffs and staying in contention for the top spot in the Eastern Conference, finding themselves just 2.0 units behind.
The Celtics come in here after pummeling the Sacramento Kings by 132-109 in their last game, thanks to another strong combined performance from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who finished with 36 and 27 points, respectively. Besides, Derrick White contributed a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists.
That strong offensive performance has been commonplace this season for the Celtics, who are third best offensively in the NBA with an average of 117.8 points scored per game , and 47.5 percent shooting from the field.
JefeBet Prediction
Although the Indiana Pacers have been showing good things offensively, that hasnot been the case on defense, where they are the fourth worst in the league, allowing their opponents an average of 118.3 points scored per game.The Boston Celtics’ effective offense, on the other hand, will be able to take advantage of this easily.
In addition, the Celtics have been a very stout cast on both defense and offense at home, and the Pacers’ defensive issues tend to increase when they are visitors. So, we expect the Celtics to dominate things from the start and come away with a comfortable win.
Prediction: Boston Celtics Spread (IND 112-124 BOS).
