For the first time in NBA history three Canadians were in the starting lineup for a single team and it just happened to occur in front of a Canadian audience.
Recently, Scotiabank has played host to a series of opponents featuring Canadian players and that’s resulted in large personal cheering sections. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker each made appearances needing up to 180 tickets for their family and family.
On Wednesday, it was Andrew Nembhard, Bennedict Mathurin, and Oshae Brissett who filled seats and also delivered the win. Nembhard shined with a double-double of 25 points and 10 assists

Free Indiana Pacers vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
Indy is still in the mix for a play-in seed trailing the Bulls by 1.5 games for the 10th seed while Boston is still vying to win the top seed trailing the Bucks by 2.5 games and simultaneously ensure they’re no lower than second (they’re a half-game up on the 76ers).
That means this game should be competitive and while Boston should get the ‘W’ I’ll take the points and the Pacers to keep the point differential under double-digits.
