  • Boston Celtics 2-4-0 ATS in their last 6 games
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of Boston's last 8 games
  • The Under has hit in 8 of Indiana's last 11 games

Head To Head

  • Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 125-97
  • Indiana Pacers won 133-131 when the two teams last met on January 8

Indiana Pacers Form

Indiana head to Boston on Tuesday looking to extend their current win streak to four games.

The Pacers have blown hot and cold since Christmas, going from winning nine times in 10 games to losing five times in six games.

Their dip in form came on the road as they lost 117-109 in Denver and 132-105 in Utah, before failing to build in a 126-121 victory in Sacramento as they lost their next three.

Indiana were beaten 118-115 in Portland and 117-110 in Phoenix, before returning home for a 114-109 defeat to Denver.

The Pacers have got back on track though, snapping their skid with a 134-122 win against Philadelphia, before downing Phoenix 133-131 and Memphis 116-110.

Boston Celtics Form

Boston come into matchup in good form, having recorded their seventh win in nine games last night.

The Celtics bounced back from a 135-102 defeat in Milwaukee with a three-game win streak that started with a 145-113 blowout of Houston.

They backed that up with a 105-96 victory in Toronto and a 117-98 success at home to San Antonio, before falling to a 102-100 defeat against Denver.

Boston immediately responded on the road though, following up a 116-107 victory in Houston with a 119-110 win at Dallas and a 143-110 demolition of Miami.

The Celtics failed to make it four-in-a-row, suffering a 115-96 defeat at home the LA Clippers over the weekend, but they did bounce back last night by beating New Orleans, 118-112.

Verdict

Boston are in good form, but they are struggling to cover spreads and that makes Indiana an appealing pick with the points.
