Preview:
The bookies have done everyone a favour by listing the Celtics as +1.5 underdogs on the road against the Pacers.
Brad Stevens’ side is in the midst of another impressive winning streak after handing the Cavs a double-digit loss at home on Tuesday. Things won’t come quite so easy against a Pacers team that has won seven of its last 10-games, but I’m still willing to back the Celtics to cover in this one.
Boston holds a perfect 11-0 record against the spread vs teams with a winning record this year. For those that need a little more convincing though, the Celtics are also 9-4-1 following a previous day’s rest, and perhaps more importantly, 7-4-1 against the spread on the road.
Indiana rolls into this one having lost to the Clippers on Tuesday by double-digits at home. From a betting perspective, the Pacers have been a risky play following a previous loss covering in only four of their eight games.
There’s every chance this winds up a potential playoff preview between two of the East’s top contenders, but considering the Celtics hold a perfect 3-0 record against the spread in their last three games against Indiana, this is simply too good to pass up.
Odds:
Tip: Indiana Pacers at $1.88
