In a closely contested match, Kemba Walker allowed Chris Paul to trap him in the backcourt. That allowed Dennis Schroder to swoop in for the steal and drop in a layup to take a one-point lead with seconds remaining.
Jayson Tatum had a chance to close the game but again Paul stepped up to defend and the match was lost.
At season end if they end up in the third seed instead of the second by one point this will be the game that haunts the Bean Town crew’s dreams.
In the loss, Marcus Smart was everywhere on the court registering a 19 point, 10 rebound double-double while Gordon Hayward led the scoring with 24 points.
Jayson Tatum (19), Kemba Walker (14) and Daniel Theis (11) were the other double-figure contributors.
Boston leaders are Kemba Walker for assists (5.0) Gordon Hayward for field goal percent (50.2%), and Daniel Theis for blocks (1.3). Jayson Tatum leads the other three categories including scoring (23.4), rebounding (7.1) and steals (1.4).
Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is expected to be out a minimum of a week which could find him returning this week although he’s listed out until mid-March.
Indiana Pacers
Victor Oladipo continues to navigate minutes restrictions and rediscover his rhythm. In his 13th game back he resembled his pre-injury self as he took over in the closing minutes scoring seven of his 16 points to ensure the victory over the Mavericks.
Domantas Sabonis recorded his 50th double-double of the season (20 points, 17 rebounds) which broke the franchise record set in 2008-09 by Troy Murphy.
Myles Turner also registered a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds. T.J. Warren (16) and Justin Holiday (14) were the other double-figure contributors.
The win was the Pacers’ eighth win in the last 10 games with losses only to the top two teams in the East.
On the season the team leaders are TJ Warren for scoring (18.6) and steals (1.2), Domantas Sabonis for rebounds (12.5) and field goal percentage (53.9%), Malcolm Brogdon for assists (7.1) and Myles Turner for blocks (2.1).
As for injuries some concerning news regarding Malcolm Brogdon who tore his left rectus femoris (quadricep) and is out indefinitely. After just getting Dipo back an extended Brogdon absence could be catastrophic.
Doug McDermott is ailing from a sore right big toe missing his second game and is questionable for this match. Jeremy Lamb is lost for the season after tearing both his ACL and meniscus.

Free Boston Celtics vs. Indiana Pacers NBA Prediction:
This is a big game for both clubs as the Celtics have lost four of five while the Pacers are within two games of the Heat for fourth place and home-court seeding.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Pacers +1
Visiting teams given a one-point edge, in reality, is closer to three. That said the Fieldhouse is a tough venue and with both clubs equality motivated I’m leaning toward the Pacers and the under.
