Indiana Pacers vs Boston Celtics Game 2 Betting Preview
The Indiana Pacers (55-42) are set to face off against the Boston Celtics (73-20) in an NBA Thursday Night showdown, in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The game, scheduled to start at 8:00 PM ET, will take place at the TD Garden in Boston, the home arena of the Celtics. Boston holds a 1-0 lead in this series after coming back to beat the Pacers in overtime in Game 1 on Tuesday.
The Celtics are considered strong favorites for this matchup, with a spread of -9.0 in their favor. The moneyline odds currently stand at -390 for the Celtics and +320 for the Pacers. Based on these odds, the Pacers have an implied win probability of 23%, while the Celtics have an implied win probability of 77%.
For Indiana, the question going into Game 2 will be how they bounce back after giving away a game they should have won to open this series. Tyrese Haliburton hit six threes in Game 1 and it would be hard to ask him to do more than he did on Tuesday. The fact that Indiana let that contest slip through their fingers could be a troublesome sign going into the remainder of this series.
On the Boston side, there are a couple of questions as well. First, can they play better defense than they did in Game 1, where they were well below their usual standard on that end of the floor. Second, can they avoid losing outright as a heavy home favorite in Game 2, something they have done in each of the first two rounds of this postseason against the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers.
