Boston at Indiana

Boston is on a 4-1 run UNDER the total, which is their game. The slow it down as they have a lot of aging veterans and little bench. This defense is No. 3 in the NBA in points allowed and will bring a strong defensive effort to this one as Doc Rivers wasn't happy with the team’s late effort Thursday at Chicago. The UNDER is 5-0 in the Celtics’ last five games when playing on one day of rest. Indiana is ahead of Boston, sitting with the No. 3 seed in the East, and playing outstanding defensively as well, allowing 94.1 points per game – No. 9 in the NBA. The UNDER is 16-7 in the Pacers’ last 23 against a team with a winning record, so look for a slow pace and plenty of great defense. Play the UNDER.
