Boston at Indiana

Boston is 5-1 ATS the last six meetings overall and the Celtics have covered five of six at Indiana. The Celtics are coming off a 95-87 home loss against San Antonio on Sunday when they shot just 35.7 percent from the field. However, Boston is a better defensive team this season, allowing opponents to shoot just 42.6 percent from the floor. Point guard Avery Bradley is probable with a slight wrist injury. Isaiah Thomas leads the team with a 22.3 scoring average in a reserve role. Indiana is playing a back-to-back after finally getting a win last night at Detroit as Rodney Stuckey scored 23 points. Center Ian Mahinmi is questionable with a lower back injury. The Pacers still are getting outrebounded 47-39. Boston is on two days rest and the slight favorite in this matchup. Take the Celtics.
