Celtics to cover the spread
Boston went through major changes during the offseason, moving on from Malcolm Brogdon, Marcus Smart and Robert Williams III. Even though there are certainly adjustments to be made with this new-format roster, Boston has still been able to get wins on the board.
While Indiana also got off to a winning start, the Pacers are overmatched from a talent perspective here. Tyrese Haliburton is the driving force behind their offence, and Boston has several great options to throw at the former Sacramento King.
It will be a competitive game at TD Garden, but we fancy the Celtics to get the job done with a relatively comfortable margin. This was a no-brainer to include in our NBA tips for Wednesday night.
Celtics vs Pacers Bet 1: Celtics -5.5
Haliburton gets slowed down
After his trade from the Kings, Tyrese Haliburton has delivered eye-catching numbers. He’s been among the league leaders in assists, averaging double-digit dimes per game for the Pacers.
Yet, this might be one of the most challenging matchups for Haliburton. Jrue Holiday and Derrick White are two of the best perimeter defenders in the league. Additionally, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are more than capable of guarding Haliburton.
We’re expecting the Boston defence to cause some problems for this Pacers offence, possibly resulting in Haliburton posting a less impressive box score than usual.
Celtics vs Pacers Bet 2: Tyrese Haliburton under 9.5 assists
Porzingis fires from downtown
Kristaps Porzingis has shot over 46% from three through the opening two games of the season. Yes, we’re dealing in small samples at this stage, but Porzingis is living up to the billing as a floor spacer for the Celtics.
As Boston’s primary big man on the floor, Porzingis will inevitably be guarded by Myles Turner for long stretches. The Latvian is bound to get some open looks when Turner helps on drives.
At these odds, we love the value of the Unicorn to make over 2.5 threes on Wednesday night.
Celtics vs Pacers Bet 3: Kristaps Porzingis over 2.5 made threes
