POTD Record: 34-21 (+22.03u)

Boston Celtics @ Indiana Pacers 8:00pm EST

Celtics TT over 114.5 -120 (2u)

We head back to this series and to a line that we have taken three times now in the Celtics Team Total. We are 2-1 to this line in this series, as we cashed out in Game 1 and Game 2, and got hooked in a major way in Game 3. Even with the brutal hook in Game 3, we left that game somewhat encouraged because the Celtics were all over this line even when they did not play their best. The Celtics shot 47% from the field in this game and 16-46 from 3. They missed 6 free throws in this game, which ended up being the difference. We feel that today, in a closeout situation to get to the NBA Finals, the Celtics will show up in a major way. They can smell blood in the water and do not want to give the Pacers even the slightest bit of hope by letting Game 4 slip through their fingers. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been excellent this series, and Jrue Holliday, Derrick White and Al Horford have showed up and contributed as well. This Celtics team is clicking right now, and we like that trend to continue tonight.

We also want to take a minute and acknowledge Bill Walton, a truly unique human and great Boston Celtics player. May he rest in peace, and he will always be remembered fondly!
