The Boston Celtics will soon face the Indiana Pacers for the fifth and final time this season as the Pacers try to extend their current win streak to four games while Boston tries to get back to winning multiple games in a row.
Much of the Pacers’ ball club– including star point guard Tyrese Halliburton — is a game-time decision in terms of health, and both Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet are on Boston’s side with Al Horford sitting the contest out, so this win could very well come down to which team is healthier at key positions on the roster.
Health aside, Boston should win the contest even with the increasing integration of new Indiana addition Pascal Siakam, but will the Celtics find themselves out of sorts again with another hard, early punch from the Pacers?
