The Boston squad won its last two games and eight of the 10 most recent, to consolidate itself at the top of the standings, with a record of 28 successes and just seven defeats.
It is worth clarifying, however, that the Celtics’ seven losses came on the road, while at home they remain extraordinary undefeated in 17 games.
Meanwhile, the Pacers (20-15) also come into the evening packed, having won seven of their last 10 appearances.
The Celtics’ great rival for first place in the Eastern Conference, Milwaukee (25-11), will also play this Monday against the Utah Jazz (17-20), a team that would be eliminated from the postseason if the campaign ended today.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Bucks have everything they can to add a new victory at home, the Fiserv Forum, where they have recorded 16 victories in 19 duels.
This Monday’s card also includes the Hornets-Bulls, Wizards-Thunder, Heat-Rockets and Clippers-Suns games, always in the home of the former.
