Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Prediction & Picks - NBA
by Edgar Jibran | in NBA Picks
The current NBA champions, Boston Celtics, are still keeping the momentum from the prior season with an amazing streak of 4 victories in a row that puts them as the big favorites to defeat Indiana Pacers next Wednesday. In this regard, the Pacers must try to get some revenge after losing the Conference Final series last season (4-0).
Nonetheless, it must be taken into consideration that Indiana Pacers have a streak of 3 games in a row without winning, a scenario that isn’t weird when looking at their performance during the second and third quarters. Even so, players like Pascal Siakam (18.5 points per game) and Andrew Nembhard (6 assists per game) are expected to increase their effectiveness.
Meanwhile, Boston Celtics still need to be more consistent to avoid losing the first quarters like they did against Milwaukee Bucks during their most recent game. Despite those weak moments, the Celtics are counting on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, being necessary to note that Tatum could easily battle for the NBA MVP award if he keeps this rhythm along the season.
