This feels like too good of odds to pass up. Boston is a first quarter wagon and have been all year. They average 32 points per first quarter and allow just 25.5 points in the quarter. They average leading after the first by 6.5 points per game.

Boston Celtics vs. Indiana Pacers Prediction

Indiana is a tough opponent, especially at home. With that being said, Boston is just the better team and this game should have a competitive feel because it’s the quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament.

Boston has won six staight first quarters and even a tie here is a push. This just feels like great value and with Boston being a five-point favorite I figured this would be even more juiced. With this game being a tournament game I think we can lock this in early and not worry too much about random before tip injury nonsense. Let's roll!
