Indiana at Boston

The Boston Celtics aren't far removed from their last Championship, which was by design when they added Garnett, and Allen to Paul Pierce. Unfortunately, all three are gone now. Boston does have a fairly deep roster, but it is devoid of starts. Their best player in Rajon Rondo is seemingly always involved in trade rumors. He is simply not the type of player to carry a scoring lead on a team that's devoid of a big scoring option to bail them out when things get tough, which is often. Indiana has been beset by injuries and defections from last season, but there is still enough talent around to compete with a poor team. The Pacers are 1-4, but have been in every game, losing by no more than 10 points in any game, and those four teams are 12-6 combined. Take the points on Indiana.
