Best bets for Boston Celtics
Those led by Joe Mazzulla continue to be one of the teams in the best shape in the entire NBA. It is for this reason that, being local, their victory pays a low quota of [1.12]. This fee amounts to [1.15] if we opt for Boston’s victory in the market that doesn’t take overtime into account.
in this match there may be a good amount of scoring from the Celtics, whose potent offense averages 117.8 points per game. In that sense, a bet for more than 115 points from Boston looks very attractive. And when it comes to points, another good option is to go for a bet with a handicap. For example, the triumph of the Celtics with a handicap of -9.5 points offers a quota of [1.65].
On the other hand, Jayson Tatum, the great reference of this team, is scoring more than 30 points per game. This makes the bet for more than 29.5 points from the forward quite interesting. Odds obtained at Interwetten.

Best bets for Indiana Pacers
The Indiana quintet will not have its great star for this commitment, the point guard Tyrese Haliburton. Due to that and their lousy numbers on the road (14-23), the victory of the Pacers is considered very unlikely and that is why the fee amounts to [6.00].
Without Haliburton, leader in scoring and assists for his team, perhaps the best options will be courtesy of Myles Turner, who has 7.6 rebounds per game. In that case, the market plus 6.5 rebounds from Myles Turner could allow for some interesting gains.
Finally, it is not ruled out that the Pacers can score more than 20 points in the 1st quarter. Therefore, the bet for more than 19.5 points by the Indiana Pacers in said period is to be taken into account. Regarding handicap, Indiana’s victory with a handicap +13.5 points offers a not inconsiderable share of [1.70]. Odds obtained at Interwetten.
