Boston has really struggled without Paul Pierce, dropping 11 in a row. Indiana has been no bargain either as they have been just 14-14 last 28. The Celtics have certainly struggled to find the win column but the truth is, they have a lot of youth and they put up a valiant effort every single night. They just can't close out a game. They have lost six of the last seven by 6 points or less and Indiana as a -8.5 or higher hasn't gotten it done once this season. They are now 1-8 ATS going back to last season as a big favorite. Boston is also 17-3 ATS off back-to-back losses, so we will take the Celts and hefty points here.
