Latest Odds : Celtics -6.5 Total 214.5
What a huge game for both teams as the Boston Celtics are just 1 game behind the Pacers and the 4th seed in the East. Both the Celtics and the Pacers have not been good as of late the Pacers are off a loss to the Thunder on Wednesday and have lost 7 of their last 10 games.
Boston has not been good lately and their seems to be a chemistry issue with this team they almost seem to be better when Kyrie Irving is not in the lineup. Boston though is 26-12 at home SU and the Pacers are just 17-21 on the road this season SU. And lately the loss of Victor Oladipo has really started to effect this Pacers team.

Kyrie Irving who seems to be not gelling with this coach is still averaging 23.8 points per game 7.1 assists and 5.1 rebounds. Without him clicking on all cylinders this team has no shot in the playoffs. Celtics blew this team out in January 135-108 and I see a much more defensive game this time around.
This is the first of two meetings in an eight day stretch and looks to decide the 4th seed in the playoffs. If things hold pat these teams look like they will meet in the first round of the playoffs so home court in very important and I think you will see all out effort from Boston on Friday.

Free Betting Pick: Celtics -6.5
Pacers come into this game losers of 5 of their last 6 and I think you will see Boston really lay the wood to the Pacers here who are really a terrible ATS team over the last 15 games or so. This might seem like a big number but it does not scare me off as Boston wins this game easily and covers 112-86.
