Boston at Indiana

img7:30 PM Eastern

Indiana is looking to win a season-high third game in a row. The Pacers held Miami to 99 points and Charlotte to 112 points in their last two games. They may catch a huge break if Jaylen Brown doesn't play. Brown is the sixth-highest scoring player in the NBA, averaging 29.4 points. He is doubtful about lower back soreness. The Pacers have their own injuries. Bennedict Mathurin, who averages 17.8 points, is out with a thumb injury, and Andrew Nembhard is questionable with back soreness. Nembhard is averaging career highs of 17.6 points and seven assists per game. The Celtics give up the second-fewest points per game in the NBA. They rank fourth in rim defense, fourth in mid-range defense, and second in opponent two-point percentage. Boston also plays at the slowest tempo in the league. The Celtics have gone UNDER in five of their last seven road games. The Pacers rank last in offensive efficiency. Take the UNDER.
