Celtics Look to Continue Hot Streak Against Pacers

Boston Has Covered Spread in Last Four Games

The Boston Celtics will look to continue their hot streak when they take on the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. The Celtics are 3-0-1 against the spread when playing on four or more days of rest, and they have won four of their last five games overall. The Pacers, meanwhile, are 2-3 against the spread in their last five games, and they have lost two of their last three games overall.

Key Matchup

The key matchup in this game will be between Celtics forward Jayson Tatum and Pacers forward Pascal Siakam. Tatum is averaging 26.7 points per game this season, while Siakam is averaging 24.8 points per game. Both players are capable of putting up big numbers, so it will be important for the Celtics to contain Siakam and for the Pacers to limit Tatum's touches.

Prediction

The Celtics are a slight favorite in this game, and they should be able to win if they play to their potential. The Pacers are a talented team, but they have been inconsistent this season. The Celtics have been more consistent, and they have a better record against the spread. I predict that the Celtics will win this game and cover the spread.
