Celtics vs. Pacers: Playoff Expectations Meet in Defining Regular Season Matchup
Siakam's Addition Bolsters Pacers, Celtics Seek Consistency
Pacers at Celtics Picks and Predictions
The upcoming clash between the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers carries significant implications for both teams as they navigate the final stretch of the regular season. The Celtics, currently sitting atop the Eastern Conference standings, face a Pacers squad invigorated by the recent acquisition of Pascal Siakam.
Siakam's arrival has transformed the Pacers into a formidable offensive force, averaging an impressive 123.3 points per game. This offensive prowess pits them against a Celtics team that has been inconsistent from beyond the arc in recent weeks.
The playoff expectations for both teams could not be more contrasting. The Celtics enter the matchup as heavy favorites, while the Pacers aim to continue their upward trajectory and secure a playoff berth.
When it comes to betting, the Celtics hold a 3-0-1 record against the spread when playing on four or more days of rest. However, the Pacers' offensive firepower and home-court advantage make this a compelling matchup with unpredictable outcomes.
