Game Preview
The Indiana Pacers aim to snap a three-game losing streak Wednesday night as they face off against the undefeated Boston Celtics, who defeated them in last season’s Eastern Conference Finals. Indiana started strong with a win over Detroit but has since struggled, with Monday’s 119-115 loss to Orlando marking their third consecutive defeat. Despite rallying back from a 13-point deficit to hold an eight-point lead, the Pacers couldn’t contain Paolo Banchero’s explosive 50-point game down the stretch.
"Even though we didn’t get the win, we made progress," Indiana coach Rick Carlisle said. "We had control and lost it, which is disappointing, but we’ll keep working to clean things up."
Pascal Siakam led the Pacers with 26 points, while Tyrese Haliburton added 19 points, 10 assists, and nine rebounds but noted room for improvement in the team’s pace. Indiana’s free-throw struggles—missing 10 of 30 attempts—proved costly. Haliburton is already eyeing the next opportunity. “We’ve got another shot, this time against the league’s best in Boston, and that’s a challenge we’re ready to take.”
The Celtics, defending champions, are rolling with a perfect 4-0 record, recently downing Milwaukee 119-108. Payton Pritchard came off the bench with a standout 28-point game, drilling eight 3-pointers. "Payton’s a killer," praised teammate Jaylen Brown, who added 30 points himself. Brown’s 21 points in the second half helped seal the game, showcasing his knack for stepping up at crucial moments.
With the Pacers hoping to stop Boston’s unbeaten streak, this matchup offers betting potential in the spread and player props, especially with the Pacers eager to turn the tide against last season’s champs.
