Boston at Indiana

The Boston Celtics are in a big letdown spot. They must deal with injuries and maintained a high level for nearly 15 games before getting caught by Orlando to end their 14-game winning streak. They will be hard pressed to duplicate the same level of energy in this one and that will mean the defensive end will struggle. The Pacers have some scorers, and it is pretty much a sure thing they are going to give up some points here as they have allowed every one of their last 15 opponents into the 90s or better. The average allowing 100 points a contest over the stretch. The Celtics’ stingy defense is letting up after a loss, playing to an 18-8 mark to the OVER in their last 26. The Pacers are 33-16-2 to the OVER at home vs. a tem with a winning road record over their last 51. The OVER gets the money tonight.
