Celtics at Pacers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pacers 129, Celtics 121

Moneyline

BET PACERS (+135).

While the Celtics got the best of the Pacers on Saturday, the Pacers have been playing well recently. Winning 6 of its last 7, Indiana had an uncharacteristically poor shooting performance. It had scored at least 120 points in each of its last 6 games before Saturday's loss and should be expected to rebound on Monday night. While the Celtics perform well at home with a 17-0 record, they are 11-7 on the road.

Against the spread

PASS.

The odds are better on the Pacers' ML.

Over/Under

BET OVER 244.5 (-110).

The Celtics have an 18-16-1 Over record this season, while the Pacers have a 23-12 Over record. The Celtics have hit the Over in 7 of their last 10 games, while the Pacers have hit the Over in 3 of their last 5, including 2 of their last 3. The Celtics have scored at least 120 points in 9 of their last 10, while the Pacers have scored at least 120 in 7 of their last 10.
