Premium Pick

Indiana had a golden opportunity to steal a game in Boston, but the Pacers had a last-minute collapse and went down 2-0 in the series. Now the Pacers go home in a must-win situation and they are 29-12 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse while the Celtics are only 21-20 on the road. Boston is in a letdown situation and the Pacers have been playing good defense allowing an average of 91.5 points the first two games of the series. Bojan Bogdanovic led the Pacers with 23 points in Game 2, but expect more production from Wesley Matthews, who managed to score just six points plus he'll want to atone for a costly turnover in the final moments of Wednesday's game. Indiana has won six in a row after being away from home for at least a week and look for the home cooking to be the difference tonight. Take the Pacers on the moneyline.
