The Celtics are in the third spot in the Eastern Conference and are playing well at both ends of the court. Boston is fourth in the NBA in points scored and sixth in field goal shooting defense. Boston will have center Kelly Olynyk back, who has been out since the All-Star break with a shoulder injury. Celtics points guard Isaiah Thomas is averaging 28.2 points in five games this month. The Celtics are 7-3 ATS following a spread loss and match up well with an Indiana that has lost five of nine, including twice as a favorite. The Pacers are 3-7 ATS playing on one day of rest and have failed to cover five of the last six at home. The underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings, so grab the talented and hot visitors and play Boston.
