The Indiana Pacers are set to face off against the Boston Celtics in an NBA clash on Thursday at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since the Celtics swept the Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals last season on their way to winning the championship.
The Pacers have struggled in their last few games, including a recent close defeat against the Orlando Magic. They will be looking to secure their first home win of the season. Meanwhile, the Celtics have had a strong start to their championship defense, winning all four of their games, including a victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in their last outing.
The Pacers will be without center James Wiseman and possibly rookie Johnny Furphy, while the Celtics will be missing center Porzingis and forward Sam Hauser due to injuries.
In terms of predictions, Sports Mole expects the Boston Celtics to continue their winning streak and defeat the Indiana Pacers by a margin of 7+ points.
