The Indiana Pacers will step into Friday’s showdown with the Boston Celtics, looking to deal the defending champions their third consecutive loss. The Pacers had their five-game win streak snapped by the Oklahoma City Thunder, 114-120. Andrew Nembhard flirted with a triple-double, posting 23 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Pascal Siakam had a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds while Benedict Mathurin tallied 18 points. The Celtics have lost three of their last four games, including back-to-back setbacks against the Orlando Magic 104-108 and Philadelphia 76ers 118-114. Jayson Tatum dropped 32 points in his return from a minor injury, yet his output would not be enough to foil the Sixers on Christmas Day. The Celtics remain No.1 in the Atlantic Division standings with a 22-8 record, just two games above the surging New York Knicks (20-10).

Our Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
I like the Pacers covering a +10.5-point spread. They had won their last five games prior to Thursday’s loss to the OKC Thunder while boasting a 5-1 ATS record in their last six matches. Boston are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games at home. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis are also listed as game-time decisions for Friday’s ballgame, so there’s a chance the defending champs will be playing without their two key defensive cogs. Our betting prediction for the Indiana Pacers vs. Boston Celtics: Pacers will cover +10.5 points.
