Boston Celtics vs Indiana Pacers Game 3 Betting Preview

In a highly anticipated Saturday night matchup, the Boston Celtics (74-20) will face off against the Indiana Pacers (55-43) at 8:30 PM ET, in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The game will take place at the Indiana Pacers' home arena, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, with the Celtics holding a 2-0 series lead heading into tonight's action.

Despite being on the road, the Celtics are considered heavy favorites, with the current spread set at Celtics -7.0. The Moneyline odds for the Celtics are -265, indicating their strong chances of winning with an implied probability of 70%. On the other hand, the Pacers have a Moneyline of +225, suggesting a 30% chance of victory.

The Pacers come into this game riding a hot streak at home, having won their last 11 consecutive home games. Meanwhile, the Celtics have been performing well overall, winning 40 of their last 50 games.

In their previous matchup, the Celtics defeated the Pacers with a score of 126-110. This result may influence bettors looking to wager on player prop markets, particularly on Tyrese Haliburton's points, as it has emerged as the most popular betting market for this game.

Sharp bettors seem to be favoring the Under for Haliburton's points, with the prop total opening at Under 17.5 points (-105) and later dropping to 15.5 points (-130). This indicates a belief that Haliburton may score fewer points than initially anticipated.

As the game approaches, excitement builds for both fans and sports bettors. The Celtics' dominant record and the Pacers' impressive home winning streak make for an intriguing matchup. Will the Celtics continue their winning ways, or can the Pacers defend their home court and pull off an upset? Only time will tell as these two teams battle it out on the hardwood.
