Friday, April 5, the Boston Celtics face the Indiana Pacers for their final meeting this season. Both teams arrive having swept their recent home and home series. Boston defeated the Miami Heat while the Pacers swept the Pistons.

In the second game versus Miami, five Celtics scored in double digits with a trio hitting 20 or more points. Leading that effort was Gordon Hayward (25) while Kyrie Irving (23) and Al Horford (21) also chipped in.
Boston has won four of their last five games, but this followed a four-game losing streak so the team still hasn’t resolved their consistency issues.

A trio of Celtics offers injury concerns for this match versus the Pacers. Al Horford (left knee soreness) is expected to play through the pain. Jaylen Brown (lower-back spasms) missed the last two games and is questionable for Friday while Marcus Morris (knee soreness) is definitely out.
Indiana Pacers
Over the last 10 games, the Pacers have won just three times. Fortunately, two of those efforts came in the home and home series versus the Pistons.
Five Pacers scored in double figures in the win at Detroit and Nate McMillan used just nine players. Thaddeus Young led the way with 21 points, four assists, and eight rebounds.

Free Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers NBA Prediction:
Home court will likely be decided based on the victor of this match. Although the squads boast identical records the Celtics are listed ahead given they lead the season series 2-1 and have one extra conference win. Both teams want to gain the home court seeding, but it seems like the Pacers will be the team more in need of that advantage.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Pacers ATS
Although the Pacers can ill afford to be without Matthews and Collison they perform better at home and will play this match like it’s a playoff game 7.
Irving tends to show up big in games of this nature, but the inconsistency of Boston and their sub .500 road record will factor.
