Indiana Pacers vs Boston Celtics Prediction
Indiana Pacers are on the brink of bowing out of the Eastern Conference Playoffs final without winning a game as they trail 0-3 to the Boston Celtics. Pacers lost the first 2 games away and also threw an 18-point lead to lose game 3 by 111-114 at home. The Pacers now have to take game 4 by all means if they want to keep their hopes alive and keep this finals series going. The absence of All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton in game 3 was severely felt, and he is set to miss game 4 also.
Jayson Tatum scored 36 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists to lead the Boston Celtics turnaround and eventual victory in game 3. It came after Boston managed to slow down the Pacers’ high-tempo game and take control of proceedings. Celtics are now just one game from winning the Eastern Conference even though Tatum was modest about game 4, stating that it is going to be even harder for them to win. Nevertheless, with other stars like Jaylen Brown (24 points) and Al Horford (23 points) also shining, the Celtics are favorites to wrap up this final series in game 4.
Pacers coach Rick Carlisle remained defiant and promised that his team will give their all to win game 4. There is no doubt that the Celtics will also throw everything to win the game. The stage is set for a high-scoring match. Hence, our Indiana Pacers vs Boston Celtics prediction is Total Over 220.5 Points.
