Indiana at Boston

Never mind the injuries, the Celtics are red hot. They have won twelve in a row and sit at 21-4 on the season. I'm backing them here against Indiana, even without Rondo and the O'Neals. During their streak, they are allowing just 88.9 points per game and they've won on average by over 13 ppg. This team takes immense pride in their defense and they are coming to play every night. The Pacers are just 5-7 on the road this season, where they are shooting just 42.5% from the field. That kind of shooting against this kind of defense spells disaster. As a road dog of 6.5 to 9 points, the Pacers are just 5-15 ATS the past two seasons. I like the Celts here.
