Indiana at Boston

Indiana has inside muscle, but Boston has quickness and athleticism. The Pacers were no match for Boston's quickness and defense in Game 1, getting routed in the second half of an 84-74 defeat. It was the fewest points the Celtics scored all season, yet they still won by double-digits. The Pacers offense ranks #22 in points scored and leading scorer Victor Oladipo (18.8 points per game) is out for the year after suffering a knee injury. The Pacers are on a 7-17 ATS on the road, and are 4-13 ATS away versus teams with winning home records. Boston is dynamite on defense, eighth in points allowed, fourth in field goal shooting defense, and sixth at defending beyond the arc. The Celtics are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Conference Quarterfinals games and match up great. Play Boston as my NBA Max Play today.
