Boston Celtics @ Indiana Pacers 8:30pm EST

Celtics TT over 114.5 -120 (1u)

We head back to this series for Game 3 as the Celtics look to go up 3-0 on the road. We cashed the Celtics Team Total twice already in the first two games, and tonight, we get a line that is slightly lower than the first two games. The Pacers will be in desperation mode tonight, as they look to avoid going down 3-0, which spells death in the NBA. The Pacers will be energized by the home crowd and will want to play their game by scoring a lot of points and playing fast. The Celtics will be forced to put up a lot of shots to remain competitive. One of the biggest things for the Celtics this series has been the help of everyone on offense as scoring has not fallen squarely on the shoulders of Brown and Tatum. Granted, they have put up points, but Horford, White and Holliday have all contributed so far.

Like we have said all playoffs with the Pacers, you cannot stop them, you can only hope to contain them. Even in a Game 2 blowout, the Pacers still found a way to score 110 points, after 128 points in Game 1. The Celtics will have to continue to play the Pacers game, as they will look to dictate the game script at home. Give us another high scoring affair between these two teams and for the Celtics to score at least 115 points tonight.
