3 minPacers vs. Celtics Prediction, Pick Against the Spread and Latest Odds
The Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers meet from Boston tonight for an Eastern Conference showdown.
Boston comes into this contest with a perfect 4-0 record after winning their first championship since 2008 just a year ago. The Celtics faithful are hopeful that last season was the beginning of a dynasty run for this franchise.
Over the last decade, the Celtics have made the playoffs every year. Since 2007, the Celtics have missed the postseason just once (2013-2014). Anything less than another championship will be a disappointment for the Celtics this season.
The Pacers begin this contest with a record of 1-3. After winning their season opener over the Detroit Pistons, they have lost three consecutive games.
Indiana stormed to the Eastern Conference finals last year as one of the biggest surprise teams in the NBA.
